The objects featured in this artwork were gifted to me by loved ones and their value goes beyond monetary worth. Every object has been meticulously chosen. Inspired by the chiaroscuro effect commonly used in Vanitas paintings, the arrangement shows the intricate detail of the objects against a subdued backdrop. Through the deliberate arrangement of everyday items, I aimed to create an image that exudes both familiarity and intrigue. My intention is for viewers to immerse themselves in the artwork, delving into the interplay of colours, forms, lighting and perspective.
