Strawberry Burial by Olivia Faust. This charming and eerie 8x8 combines gothic and botanical elements in a visually striking way. Centered around a gray tombstone that reads “AT REST,” the artwork is framed by strawberry vines, complete with red fruit, spiderwebs, and white blossoms. The vines are tied with red bows, adding a whimsical yet somber touch. Above it all hovers a full moon, illuminating the dark, star-speckled background.
The juxtaposition of ripened strawberries—symbols of sweetness and summer—with the tombstone and webs, evokes themes of beauty, decay, and the bittersweet nature of life and death. It’s a perfect piece for lovers of gothic art with a soft, romantic edge—something that would be right at home in Nocturne.
