Original artwork description:

In a quiet, pared-down scene, two earthen vessels share the space—one a tall, greyish bottle with a soft, bulging form, the other a smaller, reddish-brown bowl, grounded and open. Between them, two tangerines rest side by side, their vibrant color a gentle contrast to the muted greys of their surroundings.

Though simple in arrangement, the objects seem to speak. The bottle stands like a figure caught in thought—closed, self-contained. The bowl, lower and receptive, mirrors the gesture of waiting. The tangerines appear like a bridge between the two: full of life, ripe with presence, they connect the vessels through their quiet vitality.

The grey base and background create a soft, meditative atmosphere, where light and form are reduced to essentials. In this minimalism lies a tension: stillness and presence, solitude and companionship, distance and nearness.

Perhaps this is not just a still life, but a portrait of relationship—of how we exist next to one another, how color and silence can hold connection, how meaning can live in what remains unsaid.
