Artwork Description

My still life paintings are careful composition full of allegories, which capture a moment in time where all represented items are meaningful beyond the composition.

“Famille est Éternelle” (Family is forever) is an exploration of lineage, love, and the fragile yet resilient threads that bind generations of women. Through six blush and white roses at varying stages of bloom, held in three distinct glass vessels, I seek to evoke the lives and interwoven stories of three women—perhaps grandmother, mother, daughter—and the evolving nature of their relationships.
