The works in this series emerge from a season marked by transitions, and the unexpected companionship of a bunch of pink tulips. In their slow transformation from soft blush to brittle lilac, du Toit found a mirror for the human condition: our inevitable decay, our moments of rest and the grace in endings. Her brush tracks these shifts with unflinching tenderness, rendering petals as both portraits and self-portraits, vessels for grief, love, and change.

This body of work oscillates between figuration and abstraction, much like memory itself. We bear witness to the colours layered narratives: pink as nostalgia, darkened tones as the lingering presence of pain, and unexpected vibrations of light as small declarations of hope.
