Blue Dusk is a semi-abstract meditation on the prickly pear cactus, bathed in the quiet blues of evening. Through this dreamlike palette, the familiar form becomes a study of stillness and resilience rooted in the Maltese landscape.
The prickly pear (il-bajtra tax-xewk) is an intrinsic part of Malta's rural identity, associated with traditional Maltese stone walls. Beyond its iconic fruit, the plant is a symbol of endurance, historically used for its medicinal properties and as a natural boundary. In this work, it represents a silent, enduring presence within the hush of the countryside.
