Midnight Bloom portrays organic natural forms in dark environments, operating between distinctly celestial and earthly. Floral adjacent, the forms read as ephemeral abstractions, simultaneously both lines and vines, shapes, and petals. Referencing the moon's crescent, the stars' sparkle, and the dimming of day, they exist beside cosmic entities.

Using descriptive textural lines and dramatic neon nightlife-reminiscent lighting, the bulbs become aglow, transforming into beacons of light. Establishing an otherworldly and midnight mood, forms swoop, sway, glide, and soar through the painted plane, exceeding reality.

Stems are cropped by the edge of the canvas, obscuring the origins of these beings. Shapes and vines defy nature, existing on large canvases, dwarfing their known counterpart. Denying delicacy, blooms exceed the natural scale, creating an uncertain sense of awe. This work recalls innate notions of beauty, mystery, darkness, and light. Gathering lines into forms, the entities shine in the nighttime, operating within the polarities of the natural and otherworldly.
