THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE ARTWORK

The phrase 'orchard of sorrow' is not a specific, widely recognised literary term, but a symbolic, metaphorical expression turned into a visual representation from my own perspective.

This artwork primarily represents a mental, emotional, or spiritual place where grief and lost innocence are cultivated, re-lived, and remembered.

ARTWORK BACKSTORY

This artwork is a high resolution reproduction of an original piece that was hand painted using alcohol inks. Alcohol inks give unique effects that other inks can’t offer. In saying that, they are not lightfast (which means they fade rapidly). 

Because of this, the original piece has been destroyed as I cannot in good faith sell an artwork where the image may completely disappear at some point. 

The artwork available to purchase on this listing has been printed using archival inks, it is now the original and the only one in existence.
