Cherry, 2016

Oil on Canvas | H152cm x W275cm

"Cherry" transports the viewer into a whimsical world of hope in the face of some form of deep loss. The painting depicts cherry blossom trees in full bloom, their delicate pink petals swirling like dancing dervishes in the wind. The flowers burst forth with vibrancy as if the entire city is coming alive with the arrival of spring, resembling beating hearts that pulsate with life and energy. The scene orchestrates metaphorically that finding the will to move through loss takes an entire city to light up in front of your eyes.
