Flowering Minds is a manifestation of my past art limits and the breaking of the mold. It reflects who I am, an Asian woman who loves flowers and whose mind is filled with seeds of creation that have slowly taken root among the noise of "I can't do this... I shouldn't do that..."
With the new source of light from the Metaverse, the seeds of life have burst forth from my mind and blossomed into new inspirations.

Life gets lost in the ether of highlights and wins, and many of us lose ourselves when there is no perfect path to success. As was mentioned to me by MeLlamoMatt, there is no one strategy for everyone, but everyone needs a strategy to sell their art.

Our past does not define who we can become. Instead of relying on our past to determine our future, we need to ask our future self what it is we should do now to get to where we are going. We are not yesterday's problems, and we are not yesterday's results. There is only the present, with the chance to change the future. I was scared of buying my first big camera and setting off around the world not knowing what I was doing back in 2019. If I stuck to what I had been doing in the past, I would never have achieved the success I have now with my photography.
If I want tomorrow to be different from yesterday, I have to do things I have never done today.

For my career to change, I had to change.
For things to become better, I had to get better at photography.
And when I improved, everything around me improved.
Education is priceless.
That’s what I love about NFTS this year.
In the past, I have focused so hard on using photography to express myself and what's in my head out, that I limited my art to be only done by camera.

Flowering Minds is about not letting my own limiting self doubts and thoughts to hold back the incredible ability for me to create something.
