Portrait with Camomile #173

The camomile, a symbol of love, simplicity, and tenderness, carries profound meaning in the language of flowers, representing patience and energy. Its sweet aroma contrasts with its bitter taste, embodying the dualities of life. In this performance, Marina holds the camomile with unwavering stillness, embodying the tension between the sweetness of desire and the bitterness of life's trials. The meditative nature of the piece amplifies this contrast, with the only visible action being the quiet flow of tears down her serene face.
