The scene unfolds in a dreamy meadow where these women gracefully traverse, immersed in the serenity of nature. Their silhouettes exude a sense of camaraderie as they stroll through a field of vibrant flowers.
As the women traverse the blooming landscape, they pick tulip bunches with their hands, giving the composition an air of gentle contemplation and appreciation for life's fleeting beauty. The confrontation of the monochrome figures with the vivid bursts of floral colour creates a striking visual contrast and emphasises the transitory nature of time.
Above them, a looming thunderstorm creates atmospheric tension. The thunderclouds cast shadows on the idyllic scene below. This juxtaposition of menacing storm and delicate beauty conveys a deep sense of duality, symbolising the inherent tension between the ephemeral beauty of the moment and the inevitability of change.
"Wallflowers II" serves as a poignant exploration of the intricacies of life and encapsulates the essence of memory, fleeting moments and the inexorable passage of time. This small mixed media/collage artwork invites viewers to reflect on the delicate interplay between the fleeting beauty of the past and the unpredictable nature of the future.

db Waterman is a contemporary Dutch artist. In her works she assembles original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink, and pencil. The variety of resources she is able to use has proved indispensable to her. The biggest challenge the collage medium posed was its unforgiving lack of transparency. Finding a way to replicate the effects of transparency afforded by paint, especially watercolors, was a large victory for the artist. The preparing labor shows through in her collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces.
db Waterman believes that the body of her work is characterized by her skill for reinvention. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, she revived this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of her work is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation.” Her tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful way possible to create dreamlike and melancholy images.
