Original artwork description:

"Country Road Take Me Home" between Nostalgia and a Return to Origins. The title is a clear reference to the folk song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver (1971), which evokes a deep sense of nostalgia for rural life, homeland, and a place of belonging. Symbolically, the "country road" represents an inner journey toward "home," not only as a physical place, but as an emotional state of peace and simplicity. In a modern context, it could symbolize an escape from urban chaos, a recurring theme in contemporary art that contrasts nature with the alienation of industrialized society.

Innocence and the Personal Journey of the little girl, a universal symbol of purity, innocence, and vulnerability. Her childhood suggests the beginning of a life journey, where the path represents growth, exploration, or the search for identity. She walks away from the viewer, her gaze turned forward: this symbolizes detachment from the past and progress toward the unknown, but also a contemplative solitude. There is no interaction with the surrounding environment, which heightens a sense of introspection, as if the little girl embodies the human soul seeking emotional refuge.
Emotions and Contrasts: Dominant Blue (dress and hat): Blue evokes tranquility, serenity, and infinity (sky, sea), but also melancholy or introspection. The flowing dress, blowing in the wind, symbolizes the movement of life, transience, and freedom. It could recall iconic female figures such as Alice in Wonderland (for the blue dress and sense of adventure) or an echo of Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz," although here the blue predominates over the warm tones.
Red Shoes: A vivid contrast to the calm blue, red symbolizes passion, vital energy, or danger. They could allude to the red shoes of fairy tales (as in Hans Christian Andersen), where they represent the irrepressible desire to dance or travel, but also a warning about losing control. Together, the colors create a balance between inner calm and dynamic momentum.
Brown bag: A practical and earthy object, it symbolizes personal baggage—memories, experiences, or travel supplies. Brown evokes the earth, anchoring the figure to rural reality.

Nature, Ephemeral Beauty, and the abundance of flowers sprouting from the bag (orange, pink, red with green leaves) are a classic symbol of natural beauty, rebirth, and fleeting joy. They represent the vitality of the countryside, harmony with the environment, and perhaps a "gift" gathered along the way, a metaphor for accumulated positive experiences. Symbolically, the flowers evoke the transience of life (as in Baroque vanitas paintings), but here, with bright colors, they convey optimism and a connection with nature, symbolizing childhood as a "blooming" and colorful stage, contrasting with the neutral background.
The white, abstract background represents isolation or the inner universe, focusing attention on the subject and inviting the viewer to project their own interpretations. Symbolically, it suggests that "home" is not a visible place, but an ideal, ethereal concept.
