This reflection on art uses a skewed perspective, uncomfortable, disjoint composition, and featureless background to highlight the serene richness of the classical art at its focus. In addition, the strangely still, silent feel of the piece as a whole is a play on the genre of its subject, a "still life". There is no message here, no theme, leaving the viewer to contemplate the beauty of the painting itself, and how that beauty either impacts our lives or exists in isolation from them.
The artist wishes to thank the North Carolina Museum of Art for generously allowing this photograph to be taken.
