Nurture — “Cancer: Never Give Up”

A meditation on love, endurance, and what remains.

Every brushstroke and color choice carries intention. Nurture was created as an act of witnessing — a reflection on the strength that emerges in the face of life’s most difficult passages.

At its core, the painting holds an intimate moment between a mother and child, radiating love’s enduring presence even within uncertainty. Flowers rise among fractured textures of glass and ash, symbols of growth, scars, and resilience existing together.

The shattered surfaces do not suggest damage alone. They speak of transformation — of what remains, what endures, and what becomes possible through hardship.

Within the composition is also a quiet suggestion of the inner child, a reminder of the well of strength that lives beneath the surface of us all.

Nurture is a work about love, loss, and the quiet power that persists when everything else feels fragile.
