Under the guise of fragility, we wait

Painted this for the show Poetic Notions #poeticnotions as a collaboration with the poet Blossom Thom.
  
Under the guise of fragility, we wait is a line from her poem The Garden of Dutiful Women, which Blossom wrote after we talked about the theme of waiting in another set of her poems. I was looking for ways to express waiting. Planting was her suggestion. 

Blossom's poems for this project are on Montreal Serai.
