In this painting, the three ranunculuses exist simultaneously at different stages. One is just beginning to show signs of change, one is at its fullest, and one has already reached the end of its life cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLooking at them together made me think about how we move through life differently. There are moments when we are growing, moments when we feel most like ourselves, and moments when we begin to let go of what once defined us.\u003cbr\u003eThe flowers are all the same species, yet they look completely different depending on where they are in their lives. Change is constant, but it does not happen all at once. The hand holding them together became a way to connect those stages and recognize them as part of the same experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elke Ott ","offers":[{"title":"24\" x 30\"","offer_id":50563974136031,"sku":null,"price":720.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/0593\/5839\/files\/IMG_5711.jpg?v=1783887238","url":"https:\/\/www.elkeott.com\/products\/held-together","provider":"Elke Ott ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
