'Ascension' by @ZaidKirdsey

This piece is a vibrant meditation on life and fate, deeply rooted in the artist’s personal history. The central flower, embodying the mother, overflows with water—both a symbol of birth and an omen of life’s fragility. 

The surrounding labyrinth, stark and geometric, reflects the uncertainty and high stakes of the artist’s arrival into the world. Bold neon hues and watchful eyes lend the piece a cosmic, dreamlike quality, as if reality itself is bending to fate’s will. 

By visually encoding his mother’s sacrifice into this surreal composition, Zaid transforms personal memory into a universal story of resilience.
