“A grape vine stands twisted in a mystical, moody landscape ~ everything slightly off balance, slightly unreal. Proportions dissolve, colours hum. The vine reaches upward like a figure mid dance, caught between beauty and danger.
This piece explores the seductive magic of viticulture: how the vines draw you in with promise, abundance, and romance ~ while quietly carrying the weight of exhaustion, sacrifice and unseen cost.
The glowing hues and dreamlike atmosphere invite you closer, but beneath the surface lies something darker.
A dangerous dance.
“Dancing with The Devil” reflects the duality of farming and the wine industry. The poetry and pressure, the nurture and the neglect, the devotion demanded by the land and the toll it takes on those who tend it. It speaks to cycles of growth and depletion, of passion entwined with burnout.
This is a moment suspended between enchantment and consequence ~ where beauty thrives beside darkness, and where every harvest carries a story not often told.”
For someone special ✨ who has been one of my greatest supporters, and always encouraged me to follow my dreams 🤍
