This painting tells the story of a girl who carries a piece of the sky with her; as if she has entrusted all the dreams she refuses to lose to a fragile balloon.
The bird represents the longing for freedom; the red apple, love and the temptation of life; and the branch that connects everything together feels like the intricate and unpredictable path of life. The drops of rain are memories and fleeting moments that arrive quietly and slip silently through our fingers.
Perhaps this woman knows that nothing is meant to last forever. Yet she still refuses to let go of her sky. She looks toward freedom and embraces the beauty of life.
Because perhaps life is not the art of holding on to the things that are meant to stay; but the art of loving them, in the very moment they are still beside us.
