Painted over a black canvas and layered with tones of gray and soft violet-blue, Lest They Fade explores how light, memory, and emotion can coexist within a single surface. The interplay of color — the cool haze of the background against the red blooms and shadowed greens — creates a quiet tension, a dialogue between memory and time.
As the piece evolved, it became something more than an experiment in tone — it became a quiet act of remembrance. The flowers stand as symbols of what was once deeply cherished, echoing the memory of people and moments that remain worth holding close.
