7. Still Life with a Feather

May. 2018, Acrylic on canvas, 36 by 36 inches

This painting was my first oil painting in my earlier learning process. The scene was captured in a silent room with a beam of light penetrate through the skylight in winter. The setting captured was to represent the symbolic states of fragility and the pause of time lapse through a temporary composition of different still life. The tranquility and lightness juxtaposed with the shifts of shadows projected on a white wall. What I was expecting viewers to experience and to see is that their dialogues to themselves are opened up, so they feel embraced and loved unconditionally by the softness and purity of this moment.
