The work portrays a flower slowly dying, yet still giving off light, a symbol of resilience in the face of change.
As the flower faces its own decline, the viewer is reminded of life’s fragility and the beauty that can exist even in moments of loss. Surrounded by organic forms, the piece creates both a physical and emotional experience.
The work explores how light and beauty can persist even as things fade. It offers a reminder that even in fragile moments, there is still hope.

The piece was fully crafted by the artist, who worked closely with gilding experts in Paris to understand and respect the depth of this ancestral technique. See less
