Original artwork description
“Youth” is a reflection on the fleeting period of life that passes with extraordinary speed — a time we experience without questioning its inevitable end. It is precisely this lack of awareness that makes us bold and confident: everything feels possible, time seems endless, and the world appears weightless, playful, reckless, and naïve. And yet, within this very lightness, we unknowingly lay the foundations of our future.
To capture the sacred purity, openness, and transience of youth, I turned to the image of the dandelion in its “clock” stage — a delicate sphere on the verge of dispersing into the wind. The ornamental halos above the figures’ heads are constructed by dividing the circle into 8 and 13 segments, mirroring the natural geometry of the dandelion seed pattern — the crossing of 8 and 13 spirals.
Each figure embodies a facet of youthful presence: conversation, listening, dreaming, whispering, detachment. Together, they weave a harmonious pattern — a quiet universe called Youth. The large circle defines this universe, while the smaller circles represent the unique microcosm each of us carries within.
