A woman holds two mirrors reflecting her face, while a howling dog and mysterious symbols surround her.

acrylic on canvas

Solstice depicts two women wearing traditional costumes as they guide a mysterious female figure almost entirely concealed beneath branches, leaves, and flowers. Only her eyes, hands, and feet remain visible, transforming her body into something halfway between human and plant. The two women appear to accompany or lead her through an unknown ceremonial process. The background consists of an intricate black-and-white decorative framework inspired by diagrams and calculations used to determine the position of the Earth in relation to the sun. Scientific and symbolic languages are brought together, creating a visual tension between measurement and ritual, observation and belief. The solstice marks a moment of transition in the annual cycle, when the relationship between the Earth and the sun reaches a significant point. The vegetal figure can therefore be understood as an embodiment of seasonal transformation, growth, dormancy, and the cyclical relationship between human life and the natural world.
