A small girl stands at the edge of an abyss, gazing toward a single flower perched on a barren tree, just out of reach. The flower represents her innocence, something she's traveled far to reclaim, yet the journey has led her to a cliff where one wrong step could mean losing everything. The piece questions whether innocence, once lost, can ever truly be recovered. The girl's quest is both brave and heartbreaking, suspended in a moment of uncertain possibility.

Inspired by J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, this black and white paper collage explores the fragile nature of innocence and the impossible desire to preserve it.
