My body. My canvas.

An unwanted presence distracts the naked eye
Shaped as the silhouette of a flower
Yet the beauty escapes into the shadows
Trapped between the four white tiles
Inspiring creative thoughts
Otherwise an empty living space
Corrupted by vacancy
Sweet serendipity.

This piece was inspired by a stain on the tile ceiling of a boarding school classroom.
