Artwork Statement
This painting explores the theme of Ritual and Revelry through the wedding bouquet. The bouquet symbolises the ritual of marriage, tradition, commitment and celebration. In the act of being thrown, ‘the tossing of the bouquet’, it becomes an expression of revelry – an energetic moment of excitement, anticipation, participation and festivity. Yet, this celebratory gesture in itself has become a ritual of sorts, repeated across generations. By focusing on the bouquet, the work reflects the cyclical relationship between ritual and revelry, where tradition inspires celebration, and celebration becomes tradition.
