Starring Olivia De Havilland, the vintage Hollywood great known for Gone With The Wind and Captain Blood where she played the part of Arabella. She won two academy awards during her long acting career and lived to 104.
In this collage Arabella is adorned with a lush tapestry of vibrant flora and fauna, each element has been chosen with intention and purpose, symbolising the connection between humanity and the natural world. The cascading flowers with their delicate petals capture the fragility and beauty of life itself. Amongst these blossoms, we find songbirds flying, their melodies resonating with the cadence of life's journey. The boy skater and the girl on the swing remind us of our carefree spirit and to embrace the childlike wonder that nature and life itself offers.
Arabella is a celebration of life's abundance, a reminder that each day is a new verse in the ever-evolving melody of our existence. It is a reminder that our lives can be a harmonious journey of strength, energy, and connection to our true selves.
