Autumn ushers in a distinct sensory experience, offering an unparalleled palette of scents and tastes unique to the season. Against the backdrop of an impending winter, fall provides a comforting warmth through flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom.
The color orange, so vibrant and bold in summer, undergoes a subtle transformation in autumn. It becomes a more muted, contemplative hue, inviting a sense of coziness. This autumnal orange, with its promise of spiced beverages, desserts, and aromas, serves as a poignant contrast to the barren trees and landscapes that signal the coming cold.
Within this work, the pumpkins, the fiery sunset, and the warm glow from the mysterious hearth in the tree, act as visual symbols of these comforting flavors. Conversely, the stark trees, the cool moonlight, and the dark water represent the transient nature of the seasons. The title “Middle of a Season” captures this fleeting moment of equilibrium—a balance that hovers just before the inevitable transition to the next season and the new sensory experiences it brings.
