Two gazes.

Two generations.

Two ways to cross the world.

And between them, a piece of pink fabric covered with skulls that transforms an apparently sweet scene into a deeply contemporary image.

With , RNST presents a particularly seductive work, on the border between Street Art, popular culture, portrait, and graphic poster.

At first glance, the image seems almost tender.

A young woman and a little girl are getting closer.

The faces are expressive, the gazes direct, almost complicit.

But something disturbs.

The pink scarf worn by the young woman is covered with small skulls.

The contrast is striking.

On one side: childhood, sweetness, spring, complicity.

On the other: death, anxiety, the upheavals of the contemporary world.

And above this scene appears a phrase that resonates as an obvious truth:

 Spring time Wille Never Be The Same 

Spring will never be the same.

A phrase that can be read as an observation, a nostalgia or even a form of resistance.

Two gazes. A childhood. A changing world.

With , RNST transforms a scene of complicity into an image that is both poetic and unsettling. The pink scarf covered with skulls cracks the apparent sweetness of the portrait and reminds that innocence does not protect against the world around us.
