About the artwork

"Panorama fragile togetherness: vulnerable and fragile but still so happy together" is a still life of 2 lanterns of the lantern plant (Physalis). These lanterns are from the same plant, but both are at a different stage of decay. The left lantern still has its orange "skin" and it is still almost completely intact but dried by the sun, making the beautiful grain structure clearly visible. In contrast, the lantern on the right has almost completely lost its orange "skin" and the golden-brown vein structure is all that remains, together with the orange berry and stem. This vein structure is warm in colour and appears almost golden.
If you zoom in on the photo, you can see this clearly. You can then also see that when taking this photo, I chose a not-so-big depth of field. I made this choice so as to get a sense of depth in the photo.
The background of this still life is of a reflective material which has a texture in it. This gives a nice effect, breaking up the mirror image and giving it something picturesque.
This photo has been cropped to panorama size, if you want the photo in landscape format 2:3, you can find it under work code: 1688902 (with the title: Fragile togetherness: vulnerable and fragile but still so happy together)
This picture could hang beautifully as a wall decoration in, for example, the bedroom, waiting room or just above the couch in the living room!
