There is a particular kind of beauty in something just beginning to fade. Fading Glory captures the peony as its petals begin to fall, its season of full bloom giving way to what comes next. Rather than mourning what has been lost, the piece invites us to recognize the beauty that remains—and to consider how the fleeting nature of a moment can make it all the more precious. Some things do not have to last forever to have mattered deeply.
