Portals of What Was and What Will Be series reflects the profound emotional landscape of the pandemic, a time marked by the tension between loss and hope. With the world living under the shadow of the virus, people everywhere longed to reclaim the lives they once knew—the shared moments with family, friends, and colleagues that had been abruptly taken away.

The works explore what was lost, from everyday gatherings to cherished holiday traditions that would have brought loved ones together—evoked here with Christmas, New Year’s, Easter, and Valentine’s Day.

At the heart of the series are flowers, symbols of renewal and beauty, drawn from gardens that became havens during isolation. Once spaces for social gatherings, gardens transformed into places of solace and reflection.

The artist invites viewers to reflect on the interplay of loss and resilience, emphasizing the enduring strength found in beauty, nature and hope for brighter days.
