The sun's warmth softens the frozen crystal snowflakes into sparkling snowmelt droplets and as the sea of white retreats the snowman too shrugs and follows.
'Snowmelt' captures the poignancy of the retreating snow - the moment when the snow begins to melt, and the snowman slowly melts too.
Through layers of snowy colour, flashes of carrot orange emerge, reminiscent of the snowman's nose, a vibrant reminder of the snowman's fleeting existence. The orange hue contrasts sharply against the muted background, drawing attention to the inevitable passage of time and the ephemeral nature of the snowman's form.
Interwoven with the delicate swirls of colour are hints of charcoal black, dark accents that add depth and texture and are a reminder of the snowman's buttons.
'Snowmelt' describes the bittersweet beauty of transition. The snowman is symbolic of the cyclical nature of life and the inevitable passage of time as winter turns to spring, the sun warms and snow begins to melt.
