Original artwork description:

This painting captures a moment of autumn, filled with warmth and a touch of nostalgia. The focal point is a small pumpkin resting on the table, radiating coziness with its soft orange hues. Beside it, a glass vase holds an autumn bouquet: deep burgundy leaves, like echoes of the wind, and delicate purple and golden flowers that bring life to the composition.

But the true depth of the painting reveals itself in a seemingly incidental yet meaningful detail. Behind the still life stands a framed photograph. It depicts a rural landscape with a field, a fence, and two figures—a boy and a girl—frozen in their moment. They appear to be part of the autumn scenery, lost between reality and memory. Is this a fleeting snapshot from the past? Or perhaps a story continuing in someone's imagination?
This painting plays with the perception of time: the tangible world of the still life merges with the captured moment in the photograph, creating a sense of depth and quiet contemplation. It is more than just a still life—it is a meditation on the fleeting beauty of moments that stay with us forever.
