Taken along a country path, the flowers rise against a backdrop of rolling clouds and wide Oklahoma skies. It’s a scene many might pass without noticing, yet when framed in stillness, it reveals something deeply symbolic. The flowers, fragile as they may seem, thrive in rocky soil, wind, and shifting weather. They don’t need perfect conditions to bloom – they simply keep stretching higher.

That resilience is what drew me to this moment. Chasing the Sky is more than a study of flowers and clouds. It’s a reminder that growth often comes not from comfort, but from persistence. Like the blossoms leaning toward the sun, we too are called to rise, even when the path ahead feels uncertain.

The contrast between the grounded flowers and the endless sky above speaks of balance – roots that hold us steady and dreams that pull us higher. Just as the clouds drift and shift, so too do the circumstances of life, yet the flowers remind us to stay present, to keep reaching, and to find beauty in the moment.

For me, this image embodies the spirit of hope. It’s a quiet encouragement to pause and appreciate what is blooming right in front of us, and a reminder that even small, simple things can reflect strength.

Displayed in a home, office, or creative space, Chasing the Sky brings both beauty and inspiration. It invites viewers to lift their eyes, breathe deeply, and remember that like the flowers, we too are capable of resilience and growth.
