Icebergs
Oil on canvas
50 x 75 cm
In the hushed embrace of a serene sea, two icebergs emerge from the depths, their grandeur shrouded in deep shadows. Each form, stark and angular, defies the natural order, their shapes evoking a mathematical elegance that transcends mere realism. They stand as silent sentinels, metaphors for the inexorable passage of timeβlike grains in an hourglass subtly reminding us that our time, too, is finite.
As the icebergs gently yield to the sun's relentless warmth, droplets trickle down their crystalline surfaces, whispering of inevitable change. This quiet drama unfolds against a backdrop of boundless azure, where the vastness of the sea mirrors the enormity of our collective journey.
Here, in this tableau of elemental beauty and symbolic weight, the icebergs beckon us to contemplate our place in the delicate balance of nature and confront the urgent reality of climate change. Each melting moment is not just a reminder of our fleeting existence but a call to action to safeguard the future of our planet.
