About the Item
In this piece, Iryna Burda captures the moment of inner birth — not of the body, but of the soul. At the intersection of stillness and tension, a delicate, vulnerable flower begins to emerge through the cracks of a shell — a silent armor that once served as both refuge and shield.
The flower is more than a symbol of bloom; it is a voice rising from within, a touch of light reaching into the dark. It stretches upward from the unconscious — from a place where archetypes sleep, where fears, memories, and instinct dwell. There, in the deep, lives the fish — guardian of intuition and keeper of silent waters. But it is the flower that finds the strength to push through.
The opening of the shell is not a loss of protection, but a gesture of trust. This moment speaks of the courage to appear, to emerge. It is the tender threshold between vulnerability and life force.
To Blossom, You Must Come Out of Your Shell is a poetic allegory of the soul’s maturing. A process in which pain, memory, and the unconscious become fertile ground for a new way of being. The flower here stands as quiet testimony that true blossoming begins only when we dare to leave the shell and touch the world.
