Rooted in the nostalgia of carefree summer days, “Sun Up, Sun Down” blends diurnal and nocturnal scenes, where female horseback riders chase butterflies beneath both the sun and the full moon, while starry skies transform into jewel-like constellations and daytime moments capture the gathering of rain pearls. Humorous touches, such as bees buzzing around shoes on a bed of flowers, add whimsy, while elements of water and air flow throughout. This presentation echoes childhood pastimes—like chasing butterflies or catching frogs—and symbolizes the struggle to maintain focus in a world overwhelmed by digital overstimulation. Like butterflies slipping through a net, our attention splinters under the relentless pull of social media, evoking a sense of endless pursuit. Through dynamic compositions and vibrant hues, Wheat captures the delicate balance between playfulness and distraction, transforming fleeting moments into layered, poetic visual narratives.
