The inquiry remains focused on nature, specifically on the sunflower. Here the theme is approached through a logic distinct from the layering and sedimentation that characterized the previous work on branches and roots.
In this series, evanescence becomes more than just a pictorial effect; it is the central motif: the sunflower emerges from the light, holds it for an instant, and then slowly shifts and transforms.
The series chronicles the transition from presence to absence. The sunflower is not depicted merely asa flower, but as a presence- a trace of something that once was: a moment, a memory, a person, an emotion, a fragment of happiness.
This duality of presence and absence narrates the process of memory's dissolution through:
1. Presence- sharp, full, almost fleshy sunflowers. The light is intense.
2. Vibration- outlines begin to lose definition; some petals and leaves merge with the background.
3. Dissolving- the flower remains recognizable but appears composed of light and hazy pigment.
4. Absence- only a trace remains: a stem, a smudge, a faint silhouette, a fleeting mark.
5. Memory- the sunflower all but vanishes, and in its place, its luminous aura emerges.
Thus the evanescence sunflower is not a symbol of death but of transformation.
