This work from the Origin Series explores themes of displaced heritage and nostalgia.
A romanticised and sentimental perspective as evidenced by the traditional costume of the figure set amid a detail of Dutch Master, Van Huysen's flower painting.
The halcyon days of art history and the detached frame of reference of past identity converge - both have turned their backs on the present.
