Summer 2012: Between my high school and college journey chapters, I sought solace and inspiration at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. I aimed to capture moments of quiet splendor during that reflective period, embodying nature's grandeur mingled with human ingenuity.
The centerpiece of these images is towering glass sculptures, glistening spires that pierce the sky, standing amid the arboretum's lush flora. Mimicking the sun's rays, I evoke a sense of aspiration and upward growth. This artwork, crafted by human hands, harmonizes with the natural beauty of its surroundings, a testament to the seamless integration of art within nature.
As I transitioned from the familiarity of high school to the uncharted college territory, the Dallas Arboretum served as a grounding sanctuary. Here, amidst the blooms and the serene presence of these striking sculptures, I found a visual metaphor for my own path—rooted in knowledge from my past experiences while reaching the potential of my future in higher education and beyond.
