Oil on wood panel
14 × 11 × 0.75 inches
Each painting in this series begins with a bouquet once given by someone the artist deeply loved. Rather than capturing the flowers at their peak, they are painted after they begin to wilt, when their fading beauty becomes a reflection of relationships reaching their end. These intimate botanical portraits transform personal memories into meditations on love, loss, and renewal.
Inspired by the fleeting qualities of light and atmosphere, the artist uses flowers as symbols of impermanence, honoring not only what has been lost but also the growth each relationship made possible. The resulting works invite viewers to find beauty in transition and to consider endings as meaningful chapters within a larger cycle of becoming.
