Thrive (grow and bloom around others who support you for who you are)

Photographer's Statement:

To me, seasons of change means understanding that at certain parts of time, accepting change is a part of life just like how seasons change for the greater good to promote more growth. My photo relates to this topic because it shows the beginning of spring blooms and how flowers thrive after changing seasons just like how we thrive after we change.
