“Ebb & Bloom” – Textured Waves of EmotionÂ
To quote from Denise’s leaflet “This innovative and emotive installation is a deeply personal design, inspired by nature and the powerful connection between sea swimming and floral design both proven to boost mood and support mental wellbeing.”
“Ebb & Bloom invites you to pause, to take a breath, to feel the rough and the smooth and know that they both belong. Because sometimes, the path back to ourselves starts with healing from within and time for us, whether that is a swim in cold water or a simple bunch of flowers.”
