Dray leaves

This is a journey from the outer world toward the boundless silence within one's own inner self. Every form of nature holds a distinct magic. 'Dead Leaves' are not merely debris detached from a tree; they are symbols of nature's sacrifice and transformation. This portrait painting reveals the intricate layers of the human mind. Just as dry leaves fall, blend into the earth, and fertilize the soil, our old memories and experiences build the very foundation of our personality.In nature, the falling of leaves is not death, but a process of rejuvenation. Similarly, old age or memories that seem 'dead' are actually focal points of wisdom. The 'aged face' seen here is not just a symbol of years passed, but a mirror to the subconscious mind—rich with experience and a testament to the journey of time.The wrinkles on the face are like the veins of 'dried leaves,' storing a lifetime of struggle and peace. Dead leaves teach us that even in death, there can be the vibrant colors of life.Those sculptures are like 'Dead Leaves'—no longer green, yet they are the ones that once gave shape to our lives. In this way, having the elderly face at the center represents the 'Self,' while the surrounding statues represent 'Societal memories' (social or familial memories).
