Sanguine 2 (Golden Chrysanthemums)

A profusion of golden blossoms erupts from a subdued, smoke-like ground, as if warmth were pushing its way through a veil of memory. The composition pivots on the quiet geometry of the pale vessel, whose restrained presence anchors the bouquet’s outward surge and heightens the sensation of abundance. Soft-edged washes and bruised shadows dissolve the edges of space, allowing the flowers’ sunlit textures to feel both tactile and fleeting—an intimate meditation on how radiance persists against encroaching darkness.
