When I came across this cluster of wildflowers blooming against a weathered white wall, I was drawn to the contrast between age and renewal. The rough, crumbling surface of the wall showed the decay, while the vivid blossoms reached forward with life and color. Using encaustic allowed me to emphasize that duality—the wax layers give the surface a subtle translucence, letting light play across both the worn textures and the vibrant petals, echoing the tension between endurance and rebirth.
