Description
When Winter Forgets Itself by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson depicts a landscape caught between seasons, a world where winter has lost its clarity and rhythm. Snow still covers the ground, yet delicate yellow flowers break through the frost, blooming at the wrong time of year. The mountains, painted in muted greys and cold blues, appear heavy and uncertain under a sky that suggests warmth instead of winter’s crisp bite.
This artwork reflects the growing instability of the natural world. As winters become milder and seasons shift unpredictably, nature responds with confusion — and so do we. The unseasonal blossoms in this painting symbolize ecosystems struggling to adapt, while the blurred textures and drifting colours echo the disorientation felt by both plant life and human beings.
Part of Laura Bernardeschi Nelson’s Climate Change Collection, the piece invites viewers to reflect on how deeply we depend on seasonal cycles — and how profoundly their disruption affects our sense of balance and belonging.
