Roseta Santiago’s “Sweet Remembrance 1” depicts a drooping bouquet of dried flowers nestled in a traditional Southwest Pueblo pot.
The flowers and pot glow in golden light against the black background, enlivening their faded forms and evoking the beauty in senescence and the grace of aging.
“Sweet Remembrance 1” reflects on the passage of time, encouraging viewers to embrace the fleeting moments of life and appreciate the quiet beauty that accompanies them.
