Space Bloom portrays a world in which trees and humans merge. Elongated limbs—bearing feet as well as hands that clutch tiny white flowers—twist upwards into curved tree trunks from which large, alien-like blossoms hang and glow. These trees frame a checked path that leads to a dark abyss, conveying a strange world that seems simultaneously natural and psychedelic. In reflecting upon her own work, Lifshin notes, "I am drawn to the tension between darkness and light, fear, and wonder, as well as the way beauty and emotional friction coexist. Nature remains a constant, active presence that shapes the figures and emotional landscapes that drive my work." For this limited edition series, the artist will hand embellish each print with new details rendered with colored pencils and pastels.
