A small yellow vase is adorned with flowers, interspersed with white and red, filling the front face of the vase as the yellow hue dominates the other faces, leaving the interior with an earthy green texture, with remnants of dirt caked on the inside. The entrance is lined with burnished metal, reflecting the viewer’s glance. While the specks of dust and grains line the metal from the top and the bottom of the vase, and the country of origin fades, it has a home in the Archives.
In my photos, I wanted to showcase a story of how everything fades with time. The small red flowers on the side of the vase are a perfect example of this. Why do they fade to white? The artist paid close attention to these flowers. What were they trying to show? We can only speculate. What I do know, however, is that this vase is long overdue for some flowers.
