Ikebana series #5 – Diptych
This painting went with the previous as a diptych.

It’s a little bit like how we see things in dreams. It’s a parallel reality that we see but that is not really “there”. The other eye is hidden and what we can see instead is the reflection of it, a simplified version of it anyway.
