The composition was based on circular forms and diagonal grids. I used both warm and cool grey tones. The focus point (bowl at the center) had more cool grey tones than the rest of the painting. The blue colours create more visual interest to the painting. The point of entry could be from the bone (top) or the harsh shadow (bottom), which leads to the smaller cups (left) and then towards the bowl (center). The blue dragons on the bowl also helps to strengthen the focus point.
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.
