Original artwork description
Eternity Still Life deepens the internal cosmology of the Kafkian eternity with flowers at 7 pm series by situating itself explicitly within the expanded tradition of the still life. Echoing the legacy of vanitas, the painting stages an allusive vessel with flowers as a site where impermanence, accumulation, and entropy quietly unfold. Yet this is not a symbolic still life in the classical sense; it is a post–still life, one in which representation gives way to instability and meaning remains unresolved.
The chromatic core — dense with bruised violets, fleshy pinks, oxidized greens, and intermittent flashes of incandescent orange — evokes a bouquet stripped of ornament and narrative clarity. These flowers no longer signify abundance or beauty, but persistence under pressure. They bloom inwardly, at that suspended hour when time slackens and certainty erodes. Seven pm functions as a threshold condition: the moment when order begins to decay but has not yet disappeared.
The vessel, traditionally a stabilizing structure in still-life composition, is here rendered precarious. Its contours are scraped, fractured, and repeatedly interrupted, as if the very act of containment were failing. Gravity appears unreliable: what should anchor the composition elongates and thins, allowing matter to descend, disperse, or evaporate. This slow collapse recalls vanitas imagery — the reminder that all structures, however carefully arranged, are subject to dissolution — but without overt allegory. There are no skulls, no clocks, no explicit symbols of mortality. Instead, time manifests materially, through erosion, tension, and painterly fatigue.
Light emerges through abrasion rather than illumination. Pale halos and vaporous veils surround the form, suggesting revelation without consolation. The object is visible, yet its meaning resists capture. In this sense, the work operates within a post-Kafkian logic: endlessly deferred resolution, sustained suspension, and the quiet anxiety of duration.
Despite its turbulence, Eternity Still Life avoids despair. There is a restrained lyricism in the way pigment breathes and recomposes itself, balancing destruction with care. Painting becomes an ethical stance — an insistence on remaining with fragility rather than resolving it. Signed and dated, the work affirms its moment while gesturing toward endless recurrence. It is a still life not of objects, but of time itself: unstable, persistent, and unresolved.
