This painting peers into an old, overgrown garden in full blossom. The headless statue and overgrown building suggest the past; civilizations, identities, moments that once felt permanent but have faded. Spring doesn’t erase them; it grows around them, implying the life cycles are not resets, they are layered. New life emerges from the traces of the old remains. We live surrounded by remnants of the past—ideas, systems, traditions—and we’re always reshaping them rather than starting from scratch. This painting visualizes the idea that life is cyclical but not repetitive. It holds its sameness and uniqueness, its dynamism that reflects its non-dualism. For someone today, that can feel very real. Growth doesn’t mean leaving everything behind; it means evolving alongside it.
