"Dancing together until the end (leaves of the Bougainvillea)" is a photo of two (sets of) leaves of a Bougainvillea. I came across this plant on Lanzarote (Spain). The leaves (beige - taupe - orange - pinkish in colour) had fallen off the plant and already dried in the Spanish sun. This has made the leaves more fragile and thinner, allowing the light to come through a little and the veins to show through nicely. If you zoom in on the photo, you can clearly see this!
Because the leaves are on a mirrored surface, you can see the leaves reflected in the ground surface, but upside down and a bit fainter. The background has a turquoise - petrol colour gradient. Because of the beautiful colour difference with the leaves, the leaves "come loose" from the background.
This work could hang beautifully as a wall decoration (on, for example, aluminium or ArtFrame) in the waiting room, bedroom, hallway or simply above the couch in the living room! (Or as wall decoration on the wall in a waiting room, office or meeting room (business).
