Vanishing Light

Vanishing Light

Vanishing Light, 2024

90 × 60cm, Acrylic on Canvas, Unframed (framing available)

This body of work emerged from a profound connection to wildflowers and the immersive experience of wandering through open fields—capturing the transient beauty and unrestrained joy of the natural landscape. I strive to distill the essence of these moments, offering viewers a visual sanctuary where they can engage with the world’s beauty without restriction. Through this journey, I hope to create a shared space that resonates with freedom and solace.

For me, Vanishing Light feels like "saving the best until last"—a piece that not only honours a summer filled with affirming, positive experiences but also signals a new beginning. It represents the fruition of a deeply cherished season and hints at the potential for a renewed exploration of wildflower themes in future works.
