Petals of the Past

"Petals of the Past" unveils a still-life setup, a delightful nostalgic journey back to the artist's cherished childhood.

At the heart of the arrangement stands an elegant hourglass, its golden sands a reminder of the days that once seemed endless, filled with playful laughter and carefree dreams. The hourglass becomes a bridge, connecting the innocence of the past to the wisdom of the present, where the artist's growth and experiences find their place.

Amongst the lush peonies - their petals like soft whispers of remembrance - a childhood doll from years gone by emerges as a treasured centerpiece. This beloved toy represents the artist's closest confidant as a child and holds within it the essence of boundless imagination.

The Archie comic book embodies the carefree afternoons spent lost in the world of comic books where time stood still and every page turned was an invitation to embark on thrilling journeys.

Lining the edges of the artwork, books of elegance gathered during a study abroad in London, they stand as a testament to the artist's insatiable curiosity, fostered from a young age, and the beginnings of a lifelong love affair with literature.

"Petals of the Past" transcends the boundaries of time, interweaving the artist's childhood joys and dreams with the wisdom of adulthood. It becomes a harmonious symphony of memories, where the past dances gracefully with the present, and the cherished toy and comic book take their rightful place as the cherished petals in the ever-blooming bouquet of life.
