She Blushed is an evocative piece within the "Community" series. On a square format and a medium gray background, shades of pink, red, blush, and white are pushed and pulled into organic shapes. These forms create an interplay between opacity and transparency, with some areas revealing the layers beneath and others remaining solid. Black mark making lines add a touch of contrast, guiding the eye through the composition. She Blushed reflects the delicate yet powerful emotion captured in the work, where colour and form intertwine to express a moment of vulnerability and connection.
