    Gold in Fine Art / Still Life

In decay, I find calm. These fragile forms hold a silence that draws my gaze. I’m drawn to nature’s beauty in the moment when it pauses on the edge of disappearance, revealing a new, delicate expressiveness. Under the film, the plants emerge from darkness like distant galaxies. Their glow is faint — like the light of stars long gone but still visible. In cracks and dust, time becomes tangible, and embroidery is my way of adding motion and life where it seems to have faded. This project is my way of seeing the essence of fragility and accepting it as part of an endless cycle.
