If I Were a Scorpio reflects on the ways we are transformed by the experiences we carry within us.
Three faces are joined together by stitches, suggesting different layers of the self brought together through memory, change, and reflection. From the openings between the stitched fragments, pink lotus flowers emerge and bloom, symbolizing growth arising from places that once appeared broken or hidden. Resting upon the lotus, a scorpion becomes part of the figure itself, embodying resilience, protection, and the instinct to survive difficult emotional terrain. The side-facing figure is veiled by mist drifting through a forest, creating a sense of mystery and introspection.
Set against green linen and purple nebulae, the work unfolds within a landscape where concealment and revelation coexist. Rather than focusing on what has been lost or wounded, the composition considers what can grow from those experiences. It invites viewers to reflect on the parts of themselves that have been shaped not despite their struggles, but because of them.
