Artwork description
A single onion rests in quiet defiance of decay, its papery skin peeling back like pages in a forgotten book. Green shoots emerge from its crown, reaching upward with quiet insistence - a tender gesture of life born from rot. The deep shadows surrounding it evoke stillness, while the soft light caresses every fold and crease, revealing a quiet resilience. This is not just a vegetable - it is time made visible. A meditation on transience, on cycles of growth and surrender, on beauty that whispers rather than shouts. The mundane here is transformed into something sacred, contemplative - a humble relic of the everyday elevated to the eternal.
