Floral Bride

This painting portrays a stylized figure gracefully dressed in an elegant white wedding gown with a distinctive off-shoulder neckline. The gown's intricate textures and detailed embellishments enhance the visual depth and sophistication of the piece. Surrounding the figure, clusters of vivid roses in lush shades of red and pink create a vibrant, romantic setting. The intentional absence of defined facial features lends a dreamlike and timeless quality, directing the viewer's attention toward the beauty and symbolism of the gown and floral arrangement. According to Dr. Pamela Chrabieh, curator of the exhibition Embodied Realities, this artwork highlights the intimate relationship between the body, ritual, and identity, exploring how clothing and symbolism shape embodied experiences of celebration, femininity, and cultural expression.
