Spring embodies the first quiet bloom of the season. Beneath airy layers of the artist’s own handmade cotton-linter paper, a subtle embossed print forms the nucleus of the design. Wisps of natural fiber and hints of pastel petals nestle into the raised surface, suggesting clusters of early blossoms drifting across a gentle breeze. The torn deckled edges, straw-like inclusions, and delicate off-white tones create a tactile, sculptural look that shifts with changing light.

Float-mounted in a slim silver frame and neutral mat, this signed original pairs minimalist elegance with organic texture—perfect for serene, nature-inspired interiors.
