Rhapsody depicts four human figures that appear as faint silhouettes symbolizing the spirit or the essence of self. In the foreground, bright painted shapes reminiscent of flowers burst with vivid colours representing joy, emotional energy, and connection. The brushwork is layered with patches of colour that blend, dissolve, and reappear, adding movement and depth to the artwork.
The painting conveys a sense of the ethereal. How life is delicate, yet vibrant and powerful. It also explores themes surrounding femininity, life's transience, and the persistence of memory beyond life's conclusion, through love, connection, and tradition.
