A single leaf rests upon the canvas, its vibrant red tinged with a subtle turquoise patina - a visual echo of copper's transformation through oxidation. Intricate veins, once channels for life-giving green, now stand stark, a reminder of the delicate balance between nature's vibrant cycles and the inevitable passage of time. This piece invites contemplation on the transience of life, the beauty of decay, and the enduring mark left behind, just like the leaf's intricate veins against the oxidized red.
