Jerusalem, Softened by Flowers

Every artwork comes with a COA (certificate of authenticity).

In this painting of Jerusalem, I surrounded the city with flowers as a reminder that even the most ancient places are alive and breathing. The stones carry history, prayer, and memory, while the flowers bring softness, hope, and renewal. Together, they reflect the balance I feel when I think of Jerusalem — strength and fragility, eternity and the present moment.
