This piece, featuring a pair of Hemerocallis, or day lilies, portrays the beauty of a single moment that we know will not last, but we appreciate in its fullness regardless. As individual flowers, day lilies last for just one day, but each plant produces blooms over and over. A season made of short-lived moments, the enduring beauty of multiple life cycles.
The deep reds of the flowers absorb the surroundings, appearing dark and nocturnal in low-light, and bold when well-lit. The petals and leaves layer softly to create depth, and emerge gently from the near-black background, framing the flame-like centres that hold the warmth, vibrancy and life-force of the flower.
