The artist aims to evoke a nostalgia in the viewer by prompting the recollection of a memory in which flowers were present, for better or for worse.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eLaCaria uses bold swatches of colour reminiscent of bouquets and garden beds along with heavy line work symbolic of the written words of eulogies, lost conversations and past self-talk. These expressive elements come together to communicate a visual mapping of the emotional cycles that accompany grief as one moves forward into a state of joy by paying respect to the past self that was left behind. \r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eThe resulting collection as a whole features compositions that embody a sense of ascension and levity as emotions appear to lighten and soften towards the upper parts of the canvas; or feature focal points of nothingness through the use of heavy negative space - an intentional commentary on the revelation that comes from the process of surrender, acceptance and the rebirth of the Self.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tania LaCaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41866971447399,"sku":null,"price":2016.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1762637246_73653.jpg?v=1762637291","url":"https:\/\/helloart.com\/fr\/products\/good-start-1","provider":"helloart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
