A tree among the flowers

A tree among the flowers. 2018.

A single bare tree rises from a sea of canola, holding its ground as the last light drains from the sky. The colour shifts from deep violet to soft peach along the horizon, while the flowers keep their steady, almost fluorescent yellow. It is a quiet moment at the edge of night, where something that looks lifeless is surrounded by intense growth and colour. The scene sits halfway between melancholy and comfort, a reminder that even in the middle of change there is a strange kind of stillness.
