Evoking a pensive and introspective mood, this painting explores the fragility of innocence amidst the weight of grief.
 
Burnt, contrasting hues of red, rust, and deep green, alongside the interplay of light and dark, fullness and emptiness, create a moody atmosphere, suggestive of the complex and intense inner world hidden behind the subject's stoic expression. 
 
Deep red hues mirror the model's vibrant hair, suggesting a connection to a bittersweet legacy, a physical embodiment of the duality between past and present, loss and resilience. The woman sits, both separated from her sorrow, yet consumed by it, inviting the viewer to contemplate the profound ways in which we carry and process our experiences.
 
The background, a tapestry of pomegranates and lush greenery, is a symbolic representation of lost opportunities. Pomegranates, with their ties to prosperity and the cycles of life, hide precious pearls – fragile reminders of the innocence lost along the way.
 
Through this thoughtful and deeply evocative piece, the viewer is encouraged to reflect on the weight of the past and the resilience of the human spirit. "All That Was Lost" is a poignant and introspective work that challenges us to confront the fragility of our own experiences and the profound ways in which we navigate the journey of loss.
