Iris lived a life defined by the beautiful contradictions within her. She wore her edges and softness in equal measure, finding joy in not fitting neatly into anyone's boxes—not even her own. Each morning, she adorned herself with whatever felt like truth that day: clashing colours, layers of jewellery & tousled hair.

People often tried to make sense of her. Because we all need a label, a box. But Iris moved through it all unbothered, finding strength in the freedom of simply being. She was fierce and delicate, grounded and boundless, laughing easily and crying without shame. In her presence, contradictions dissolved into something whole and electric.

For Iris, life was a canvas, but not one to be completed. She would keep adding to it, trusting her instincts and welcoming each change. This was her quiet rebellion, her unspoken art—reveling in her own becoming, free from anyone’s idea of what she should be.

Don’t dim to fit in.
