Behind Blooms

We hide our faces behind petals,

Soft colors shielding sharp truths.

Woman with floral headpiece, large pastel flowers cover eyes. Wears lace collar and floral dress. Green background, elegant mood. Artwork by Blume Bauer at The Yellow Studio.

We learn early: pretty things are safer

Than raw, unfiltered souls.

Woman with flowers in her hair, eyes closed, wearing lace dress. Set against misty field with muted tones, evoking tranquility. Artwork by Blume Bauer at The Yellow Studio.

But what if we bloom openly?

What if we are the flowers – Bright, delicate,

Unashamed of rain or gaze?

A woman's face covered with leaves and pink flowers, wearing a floral dress. The lush greenery creates a serene, artistic mood. Artwork by Blume Bauer at The Yellow Studio.

Here, in every layered petal,

Is a story of courage:

Of women unmasking

And beauty redefining

What it means to be seen.

🌼 At The Yellow Studio, I believe art is more than decoration – it’s an invitation to reflect on who we are and how we show up in the world. This series is the first of many exploring identity, beauty, and the stories we tell ourselves. Join me as we use art to spark deeper conversations and create work that supports a life of slow, joyful creativity.
