The painting “Room Without Sky” evokes an unsettling, dreamlike atmosphere in which themes of childhood, memory and unspoken fear intertwine. Painted in acrylic on canvas, it shows a glowing pomegranate trapped in a birdcage as something unattainable and at the same time attractive. It seems that the graceful cage cannot protect the forbidden fruit from the fluttering moths, but it is still restrictive.
Moths are often creatures of the night, and in many symbolic languages they represent invisible fears, transformation and vulnerability, sometimes associated with childhood phobias. The gold border adds a surreal, almost sacred aura to the otherwise somber palette, reminiscent of a precious memory, imprisoned or preserved, as something you are not ready to let go of.
The title “Room Without Sky” is touching. It evokes an enclosed space, perhaps a child’s room or mind, cut off from the vastness and freedom of the sky. It can symbolize a place of emotional confinement or early memories of fear – such as fear of the dark, moths, or loneliness. The caged garnet is a proxy for childhood emotions or innocence, caged and still glowing, surrounded by fluttering anxieties. Together, the elements create a sense of nostalgic melancholy – a moment frozen in time, where the past quietly brushes the present like a moth’s wings against a windowpane.
