Floral Vanitas; Becoming Otherwise

This earthly paradise, a garden of love, full of flowers, a reflection of grief, beauty, loss, vitality, growth, life and mortality. This piece has found inspiration in the Dutch 17th century vanitas tradition: decaying petals, drooping stems, and insect-eaten leaves served as a reminder that all earthly beauty and wealth are temporary.
