The Glass Swan

Tranquil in a kaleidoscopic prism of time, The Glass Swan rests in a diffusion of pastel colour. The castle courtyard presents a still life of glinting fruits and glistening glass. Delicate light refracts through filmy bubbles, gossamer flags, glazed orbs and crystalline liquids, piercing yet causing no harm: a symbol of immaculate purity. Glossy, baroque pearls signify preciousness and truth, while crumpled mountains rise from the chalky waters beyond. Tiny insects symbolise nature’s transience.
