This is a portrait of my daughter on the edge of adolescence — a moment between childhood and the complexities of growing up. In her quiet gaze, there are traces of innocence, a spark of defiance, and the silent struggle beneath the surface. The title, As You Are,Beautiful, is not just for her, but for every girl discovering who she is, in a world that tries to shape her. The baby's breath flowers, known for their symbolism of pure innocence, are delicately colored to reflect my daughter's evolving emotions and the budding of her self-identity during this transformative period.
