A meditative fusion of intimacy and evanescence, Johanna Bath’s Exotic (butter yellow) distills the passage of time into a gauzy yet poignant snapshot. Rendered in soft butter‑yellow and subtle pastels, the oil‑on‑linen piece evokes a memory half‑remembered, as if glimpsed through a fogged lens. The blurred edges and muted palette underscore the melancholic awareness that every moment is singular and irretrievable. Yet this is not sadness: Bath intentionally infuses her work with quiet optimism, suggesting a longing for beauty newly encountered and yet to be born.
