You’d have to meet her to really get this painting. I’ll describe her as a spunky Camai woman who gets her energy from other people. her name is Bopha which means ‘flower’. She doesn’t like her name because she says she isn’t ‘soft’. She likes to fight, kickboxing etc… She’s always got her dukes up, going to punch someone (jokingly, of course). She’s a tough cookie, but I still see her as beautiful, just like these flowers that describe her name. I made the flowers look like they were melting though because of her firey spirit. I wanted it to look as if she’s just about to bust through the bouquet of flowers that she feels hidden by right now to do all of the things she dreams of doing like going to a Bible college in the US, then lawschool and eventually get into the Cambodian government and create change.
