This is another challenge that I set for myself. I painted the same setting in similar concept that I've painted 2 years ago but in different perspective, and it end up pretty well that I love every single detail of it.

Dahlia flowers symbolise elegance, inner strength, creativity, change, and dignity. They are also known to represent one who stands strong in his/her sacred values.

Here it is a life time banquet on the table.
Somebody left, somebody stay.
If I am lucky enough to sit by your side, allow me to give you all my heart with full bloom.
- A Life Time Banquet – Dahlia in a Tea Cup (2020) By HSIN LIN

The giant Dahlia in full bloom placed in an empty cup, as well as the blank menu on the right-hand side meaning although we will never know what is written in the future for us, but we will see light if we hang on to hope.
The symbolism of the dahlia flower is often related to travelling and changes.
However, Dahlia flowers always symbolise positive changes that are about to happen in lives.

The entrée fork is missing in this artwork means that you are now ready for the main course.
Always remember you have all the strength you need for what is going to happen next and you are now ready for the best.
Salute to the golden age, Bon Appétit!
