Artwork description:

THE LAST LESSON

The big, abundant shell was covered in dry moss. It looked like a rusty piece of something. On the top, it was decorated with "bronze beads." I was curious to look closer.

Through the macro lens, I could see that the "beads" are boxes of moss sporangium, and they were opened.

Their mission was done: it gave birth to spores—little future mosses—fed them, gave them place and safety, let them grow, and then it opened one day and let the "kids" fly away into the big world.

The mission is done. And now it is time to be beautiful. It's time to fill these tiny wonderful cups, which were mostly full of care and love, with the golden light... It's time to shine and to give the kids the last lesson of beautiful aging— as a beautiful sunset of tender, loving souls.


ABOUT THE PRINT

The photo is printed on Hahnemuehle fine art paper using archival pigment inks in a limited edition. Chosen materials provide age resistance to fading, deep colors, and print contrast.

Each print is signed, numbered, and comes with a certificate.


👉 The print has a white border around it, but if you want, it can be trimmed, and in this case, the print will be signed in the lower right corner of the image (and back too). Please, send me a message if you want the print without a white border around it.
