Recently, a friend of mine asked ‘why do you do what you do’. Just the day before, I had been working on the series ‘The Color Codes’ in the early morning sun. My response to her question was: You ask why I do what I do. Because I love experiencing this: In the early hours of the morning, when most of the world is still asleep and the day unveils its first light, a tulip appears before my eyes. Freshly bathed in the rain shower, it gleams in the gentle morning sun like a jewel of the moment. Its delicate petals unfold gently, as if they embody the awakening of nature itself. The raindrops resting on them glisten like small diamonds brought to life by the sun. In this moment, I realize that this tulip is more than just a flower. It is a symbol of the magic that surrounds us and the beauty we can discover in the world.
As I gaze at the image, I feel the gentle touch of a morning kiss from Mother Nature on my skin. It’s a kiss of love and awakening that carries me into the arms of the day. It’s a kiss that reminds me how precious life is and how important it is to recognize the beauty in every moment.
The tulip stands majestically, as if it were winking at me and conveying a declaration of love from nature. In its simple existence, it brings joy and hope to my heart, and I can’t help but be grateful to it for this precious moment.
May the tulip in its morning glory always remind us that love and beauty surround us, even in the seemingly insignificant moments of life.
