Inflorescence (for Granny KenKen)

By Anela Ming-Yue Oh

A vibrant, circular mixed-media collage centered on a plain white background. The piece combines flat, graphic paper cutouts with textured textile layers beneath. Dominating the foreground is a bright pink paper cutout of a sprawling, tangled vine with looping leaves and stylized flower buds. A darker, semi-transparent magenta color is layered onto several of the floral buds, giving them a shaded effect. This pink overlay sits atop a dark purple, circular textile base. Peeking out through the openings of the pink vine are bright, luminous patches of lime green fabric and semi-glossy, metallic yellow-gold foil or paper, creating a high-contrast, stained-glass appearance. Stray fine black threads are visible around the edges of the circular form, adding a raw, handmade texture to the artwork.

Quote / Inspiration:

“Those who have passed on through death, have a sphere of their own. It is not removed from ours; their work, the work of the Kingdom, is ours; but it is sanctified from what we call `time and place.’ Time with us is measured by the sun. When there is no more sunrise, and no more sunset, that kind of time does not exist for man. Those who have ascended have different attributes from those who are still on earth, yet there is no real separation.“

~ ‘Abdu’l-Baha“
