In Time Will Soften The Edges , the artist delves into the subtle, transformative power of time on our memories, emotions, and relationships. The piece features a woman slightly elevated, observing a couple holding hands, evoking a sense of reflection, and distance. This visual arrangement invites viewers to contemplate the ways in which time influences our perception of love, connection, and life’s more intense moments.
The phrase "time will soften the edges" speaks to the natural process of time easing the sharpness of experiences. Whether it’s the pain of loss, the intensity of love, or the complexity of past relationships, time has a way of blurring those harsh edges, leaving behind a softer, more tender perspective. The woman's elevated position might suggest a vantage point of understanding, as if she has gained a broader view through the passage of time, enabling her to see beyond the immediate details and embrace a gentler, more compassionate outlook.
The couple holding hands serves as a poignant symbol of unity and connection. Their closeness contrasts with the woman’s slight distance, illustrating the different ways we experience relationships over time—sometimes deeply entwined, sometimes as a quiet observer from afar. This dynamic suggests that, while emotions and connections may be intense in the present, time has the power to transform how we hold these memories.
