The Facets of Time

On an abyssal black background, a woman in a red, gold and orange turban. A woman who has lived several lives in one. She is both young and old, the present and already a memory. She is us! Yet we are not just one woman, we are all the women we have ever been (abused, loved, violated, adored...) One half looking towards the future, lips still red with desire. The other dissolving into the past, becoming temple and golden dust. Leaning on her cane, she symbolizes passing time, heritage, what holds us up even when we crumble. Time does not steal from us, it sculpts us. Each of our facets is a crown of patience, love and passion. It's a very powerful message and if this painting speaks to you, women in your 40s, 50s, 60s... then give time a beautiful smile and be grateful for this beautiful gift that is life.
