The Witch's Findings

This still life is a quiet inventory of ritual and reverence—a gathering of objects that speak to the intuitive and the arcane. The Witch’s Findings presents a curated collection of natural and symbolic relics: feathers, stones, crystal shards, a palmistry hand, and driftwood-like branches. Each object is a talisman of curiosity and memory, chosen not for material value, but for the subtle power it evokes.

Informed by vanitas traditions and an enduring fascination with the liminal, I approach still life as a kind of altar—one that honors the overlooked, the broken, the sacred found in the ordinary. This piece invites the viewer into the mindset of the witch: the seeker, the collector, the interpreter of signs. Here, divination and decay coexist, reminding us that knowledge is often gathered quietly, from the edges of the known world.
