Description
This black and white portrait captures a tulip caught in the quiet poetry of almost-letting-go. The petals, once smooth as breath, now curl at their edges—creased, weathered, and beginning to fray. Texture has replaced silk; time has etched its signature into every fold. Yet the tulip holds on. Its stamens and petals, though wearied, cling gently to the stem, resisting the inevitable descent. In its slow unraveling, it reveals a haunting elegance—aging not as retreat, but as a final flourish. The Hesitation of Falling reminds us that even in the twilight of bloom, there is a grace that refuses to be hurried.
