Description
The piece depicts a garden garage door caught under a spectrum of light and shadows projected by an oak tree I saw one evening. I was inspired to create the piece as an encapsulation of the moment that I witnessed, the complexity of the nature of light leaving me in awe and the notion of a garden door leading me down a vista of childhood memories. I decided to derive the title of the piece from its dominant shade of colour, a tone I have always read to be a symbolic representation of tranquility and sensitivity, which ultimately aligns with the calming undulation of the shadows of the tree as its branches swayed in the gentle breeze. Despite seeming like a trivial or insignificant instant that one can experience any day, the pacifying and almost dreamy quality of the moment was of great significance to me as it signifies a second of self-reflection – a brief and rare adjourn from the bustling hustle of everyday life, which I deem to be a moment worthy of cherishing.
