This still life does not seek decorative harmony or classical perfection. It is rather a study in contrasts: between the dry and the fragile, between shadow and light, between glass and fabric. The reused bottle is an ordinary object elevated by the painter’s gaze. The thistle, with its aggressive delicacy, and the carnations, evoking an offering, reinforce a quiet symbolic weight. There are echoes here of the ephemeral, of what endures, of what transforms. Everything seems arranged to be seen from the smallest perspective — from the intimate.
