Born from a tangled season of change, Thank You For The Lovely Bouquet came to be. The title sounds sweet — like a gentle thank-you note. However, it’s actually a sarcastic nod to the invisible awards mothers are constantly handed for “doing it all.”
It’s the bouquet you receive for managing the grocery list, carrying your grief quietly, folding laundry between emotional breakdowns, showing up for work, wiping tears (yours and theirs), and somehow keeping everyone alive and cared for… all while no one sees the cost.
This piece holds both truths at once:
yes, there is beauty in being capable — but there is also a profound heaviness that comes with being the one who carries it all.
The layered textures represent the emotional load that builds over time. The soft hues meet the sharper marks the same way tenderness meets exhaustion in motherhood. It’s the coexistence of gratitude and overwhelm… love and loss… strength and softness.
“Thank You for the Lovely Bouquet” is for the mothers who are handed compliments instead of help, flowers instead of rest, and expectations instead of space — and who continue to show up anyway, even when the weight is unspoken.
