Swan Song

Description

This work reflects the idea that nature never tolerates the emptiness and it balances everything, if there is a garden there will be flowers, the flowers will attract insects, insects will bring birds. Everything has its own cycle of life and death. The white colour symbolizes winter and hibernation period, the rose garden with a stunning swan, in the opposite, awakening of nature.
