The description provided by the artist: "Ruins can symbolize decay, the end of an era, or catastrophe. They can also represent the opportunity for renewal through new construction or restoration. Ruins can be an allegory for the transience and vulnerability of human creations. A wild garden is associated with life, growth, resilience, and a vitality independent of humans. Red sunrise symbolizes the beginning of a new day and rebirth. This imagery can signify hope and possibilities. The color red is linked to emotions, passion, and energy, enhancing the symbolic significance of sunrise as a period of new life."
Acrylic paint, (OSB) Oriented Strand Board.
