The Taste of Time - is a contemplative still life that explores the quiet tension between beauty, decay, and the passing of time. Set against a dark, atmospheric background, a skull rests in soft candlelight - a timeless symbol of mortality and the inevitable nature of existence. Beside it, pomegranates introduce a striking contrast: rich in colour and meaning, they speak of life, temptation, abundance, and the fullness of experience. Suspended in the glow, a bee moves through the light - a delicate presence representing devotion, creation, and the fleeting nature of a single moment. The candle becomes the silent witness, its light both revealing and fading, illuminating a scene that exists between stillness and transformation. This work invites the viewer to reflect on the paradox of life - that within sweetness lies transience, and within endings, a quiet beauty. It is not a meditation on death, but on time itself, and the way it shapes, softens, and ultimately defines everything it touches.
