Drifting against a dark turquoise-black expanse, two luminous white roses with ochre and lemon centers appear weightless, their delicate petals unfolding in the stillness. A muted teal horizon subtly anchors the circular composition, while a glowing hoop-like form fades into the shadows beyond. A small blue sphere, suspended in the upper half, suggests a celestial presence—an orbiting body in quiet motion.
With a sense of serenity and contemplation, Satellite evokes the fleeting beauty of the ephemeral. The interplay of floating forms and atmospheric depth hints at the cosmic and spiritual, drawing the viewer into a meditative space. Inspired by abstract colour fields and the subtle tension of minimal composition, this work explores the delicate balance between presence and impermanence.
