The Final Petal

When you first set your eyes onto this artwork, the first thing you may notice is the flower petals radiating out of the girl’s hat. Its bright colors leech onto the hat and even her hair, brightening the whole piece. Yet, the petals are also a source of distraction. If you look at the girl’s expression, you would notice that she is crying as if this is her final farewell. Then you would notice as her teardrop falls, it gradually loses its shimmer. The final teardrop is enveloped in the soil. As if the rays are being pulled back into the ground, that is when you begin to notice the darkness in the girl’s hair as it approaches the final teardrop.
