The color palette of this artwork exudes a regal quality. The figure's skin is rendered in shades of ochre and umber, evoking a golden hue. The plant life features deep blue and forest green tones, creating a striking contrast that illuminates the figure further. The tobacco-colored archival paper adds an ancient richness, enhancing the artwork's overall sense of wealth and opulence. This piece seeks to elevate the common form of a middle-aged woman, challenging the notion of invisibility often associated with women past their prime. The artist was once told that "there is nothing more invisible than a woman past her prime," she has reflected on this sentiment across various contexts—family, society, in the medical field and further—and found its truth insulting. This artwork marks the beginning of a series the artist hopes to develop in the future, a celebration of the beauty and value of women at all stages of life, including during and after menopause. Though this piece might symbolize the perceived beginning of an end, it serves as the starting point for a broader exploration, something the artist thought necessary to mention in this artworks description. The artwork is presented on a floating mount with a white vitrine, encased in a high-quality stained linden wood frame, protected by UV92 museum glass from Ateliers Juranord GmbH.
