About This Artwork

Lavender is the colour of adieu. The last of dusk blushes in lavender before twilight takes over with its realm of blue. Yet as with all loving goodbyes, a tinge of crimson outlives the night; among its majestic blues, a splash of lavender remains fragrant with the message: “I will return.”
