“Still Life by the Sea”
Materials: Oil on Canvas
Artist’s Note: Nothing lasts forever. Yet as humans, we attempt to preserve moments and feelings through the alchemy of art. My artistic practice, and this painting specifically, is a meditation on the interplay of permanence and impermanence. Against the backdrop of the vast sea and sky, a vase of lilies in a state of metamorphosis becomes a symbol of fragility faced with the sublime.
