Lavender Tea

“Lavender Tea” was inspired by my time in the South of France, where endless lavender fields meet soft blue mountains and charming countryside homes. I wanted to capture not only the beauty of Provence, but also the feeling — the quiet pause of morning tea, the scent of fresh lavender, the gentle breeze moving the curtains.

The basket overflowing with lavender symbolizes abundance and gratitude, while the open book invites reflection and stillness. A tiny figure in the fields and a butterfly in flight add life and storytelling, reminding us that nature and humanity are always connected.

This piece is about slowing down, savoring the present moment, and surrounding yourself with beauty.
