Self-photographed dahlias converse quietly with a reproduced Gauguin, merging personal space and art history.
Here, dahlias coexist with a quiet citation of Gauguin — not as hero or reference point, but as a companion in the room. The composition folds art history into personal space, suggesting the intimacy of living with images.
Rather than quoting Gauguin stylistically, Skats stages a subtle encounter: contemporary observation in dialogue with modernist legacy, unfolding without nostalgia or distance. The flowers hold their own, asserting the sovereignty of everyday life as subject.
