Dreaming As The Summers Die 2017

"Dreaming As The Summers Die" (2017) by Zoe Hawk is a painting depicting a surreal scene of four young women in a seemingly domestic setting. The composition includes a room with three beds, each with a white curtain, and windows that open to a lush green lawn. The girls engage in different activities, suggesting a sense of isolation and unease. One girl is taking measurements while another in a yellow dress kneels beside her. A third girl is reflected in the window holding a bird, while a fourth digs a hole in the ground. The painting is imbued with a dreamlike atmosphere, drawing attention to themes of isolation, growth, and the passage of time.
