Three delicate, single-petaled roses—blushing in pinks, peaches, and whites—curve gently around the left side of a golden hoop, following the natural arc of the tondo format. Suspended in a deep, near-black background that shifts to a luminous blue at the top edge, the flowers appear weightless, caught in an unseen gravitational pull. A small blue sphere floats near the upper right, adding an element of quiet mystery.
Blending traditional floral still life with a celestial, almost sci-fi aesthetic, Orbit [I] explores themes of movement, suspension, and contemplation. The interplay of organic forms and geometric elements introduces a delicate tension, balancing the ephemeral beauty of nature with a sense of the infinite.
