“Still Life with Rose, Morning Glory, and Butterfly” by Sahar Shah

An Allegory of Awakening and Transcendence
Oil on Wood

In this quiet vision, nature reveals its sacred script. The rose, rooted in earth, blushes with the wisdom of longing—an ancient emblem of love’s eternal flame. Above it, the morning glory unfurls like a whispered invocation, a fleeting hymn to dawn’s promise. And there, between bloom and breath, hovers the butterfly: the soul in motion, the spirit untethered.

Together, they form a living allegory.
