This painting explores the quiet space where loss, care, and renewal coexist. Chrysanthemums anchor the composition with their symbolism of condolence, acknowledging grief and honoring what has been endured. Interspersed among them, softer blooms and open white space suggest breath, pause, and the possibility of moving forward. The arrangement feels gently unbound, as if the flowers are finding their way rather than being fixed in place. Together, they express an emotional truth: that sorrow does not end connection, and that healing often begins when compassion is offered without urgency. The work becomes a meditation on new beginnings that grow not from forgetting, but from being seen, supported, and accompanied.
