HWNT VIP Sneak Peek: Ellie Ivanova
HWNT Celebrates Latina Art 2009
A VIP SNEAK PEEK at a piece from
the upcoming Latina Art Show
My Soul in a Basket
7 x 9.5 framed
By Ellie Ivanova
Roses carry a rich symbolism as images - they stand for love and
heartache, beauty and thorny resilience. In this small basket, some
roses are fresh while others have faded, just like a person’s soul is
in a constant renewal of memories, emotions and motivations: some
stay, others go away. Instead of expressing sadness for what we have
lost, the intention behind this image is to inspire hope and desire to
move ahead and grow.
