Echo of Being

The work captures the delicacy and depth of youth, represented by the serene but intense face of the girl in the center of the composition. Her gaze is a focal point, a gaze that seems knowing, almost as if she understands the transience of life. Around her, an explosion of flowers envelops the scene, symbolizing beauty, vitality and growth. But flowers are not just ornamentation: they represent the cycle of life. Just as they bloom in their fullest beauty, they are destined, inevitably, to fade. This recalls the human condition, in which youth and beauty are ephemeral, just like nature itself. Her dress is a reminder of cultural roots, of the tradition that binds us to the past.
