“Wildflower” is an introspective retrospective featuring a woman standing tall as a waterfall of hair falls off her back. She’s a metaphor for letting go and blooming where she’s planted. Her body is formed against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains by the stems of Queen Anne’s Lace, symbolic of safety and sanctuary where she finds herself in the present moment.
