The hibiscus
$1,500.00
This piece explores the fleeting nature of love through the metaphor of the hibiscus flower. Known for blooming boldly and beautifully, only to wither within a day, the hibiscus becomes a symbol of a love that was brief but deeply felt. The subject of the painting is a woman who has experienced a profound, short-lived love- one that touched her spirit and left an emotional imprint. But like the hibiscus, she does not wilt with the falling of a single petal. Instead, she blooms again not for the person who once admired her, but for herself. The work speaks to the strength found in impermanence. The hibiscus teaches us that beauty can be momentary, and still powerful. Desire, though it may fade, leaves behind memory, fragrance, and emotional resonance. Each day, a new flower opens. And with each bloom, there is healing, rebirth, and quiet self-renewal.
