Personal Object Still Life

Acrylics on Wood Panel, 2017

This artwork represents the connection with my mother. My mother has been planing different variety of plants at the community garden in my area. There was once where she brought back home a few trimmed cotton plants and gave it to me. I begin to dry those cotton plants and collect it in a glass jar. Every now and then she would bring some cotton plants when it grew too tall at the garden. Cotton plants remind me of my connection with my mother and the connection with nature, its visual form looks like clouds. It also represents freedom, growth and my own world.
