Beautiful. Delicate. Powerful.
In many cultures, flowers are given as beautiful gifts. Flowers are also nature’s gift to humanity. They remind us of the simplicity, individuality, and fragility of our lives.
If the Brain could Feel
The brain is an intricate design of power and something that needs to be protected. The same design intricacies can be seen in a flower. Flowers are a metaphor of something that needs protection and can easily be damaged by the environment.
A Flower in the Night Sky
I look at the night sky and wonder how a celestial body can be floating in space. An entity so magnificent and yet hanging on the string of gravity that will eventually let go. The symbolism of a flower floating in the night sky makes me think of how delicate the night sky really is.
Forbidden Yellow Petals
Flowers have been included in forbidden moments, stories and folktales. A flower, generally speaking, has a positive context, but can become more negative if the context changes. Hence, can become a symbol of the forbidden nature of the moment, story or folktale.

I’m Vatsalaa Jha, a photographer and visual artist.
My art seeks to encourage personal reflection and social connection.
Art encourages deep reflection. Art has been a way for me to find joy and deeper meanings and truths about myself, and the world around me.
Art creates connection. I seek ways to connect with others through my art, and what better way than through color, shape, feeling, and emotion that visual art creates?
That's why I love to dig deep and find a pieces of myself within the art. If you look closer, you may see a reflection of your own experience in the art, or a deep truth that connects us all.
