A girl with low bun hairstyle wearing a cream and neutral two-piece set. She is wearing a deconstructed-sleeve corset and holding a sleeve dust bag in her left hand. There are six sleeve details, such as brown plaid with asymmetrical cuff detail and cream polka-dot silk-taffeta sleeve with double-cuff detail. The sleeve bag is asymmetrical with drawstring opening.

A girl with black curled hair wearing an ear cuff is modeling in a cream, hand-pleated dress that has golden flowers screen-printed on the left side of the dress. The dress features a cording detail along the waistline and padding along the hips. There’s a hand-pleated flower bouquet bag with hand sewn flowers in the bag that is draped over the model’s back. There is a long brown plaid sleeve scarf that is draped over the left side of the padded hip on the dress.

Two girls posing back-to-back. The girl on the left stands atop a wood box so is taller than the girl to the right. They are leaning against each other with their hands along their hips. The girl on the right holds the pleated dress that covers half her face and shows only her eyes with her brown, plaited sleeve is draped along her hip. She is also wearing a pearl ear cuff. The girl on the right is holding onto an asymmetrical sleeve dust bag on her left hand and wears a corset.

The wallflower has learned to embrace her individuality, blossoming into who she knows her to be.

WALLFLOWER is a visualized depiction of the feelings, memories, and experiences of a wallflower. One who is found behind the scenes but never the topic of conversation. The wallflower is an observer, a seer of all things. It is preferred, valued that way. It is the essence of being alone, yet never feeling lonely—the state of being and stillness from which I draw my strength.
