[ pet-ri-kor ] • noun
A pleasant, earthy scent that is produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word is constructed from Greek, petra, meaning "stone," and īchōr, the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology.
This artwork is a meditation on renewal. The scent of petrichor is more than a smell; it's a memory, a feeling of release and healing. The cracked earth represents our own moments of dryness or vulnerability. The rain, which you call with your touch, is an act of gentle self-care—a reminder that we have the power to invite softness and healing into our lives.
The glowing gold is the life force, the promise of rebirth that follows every storm. This piece is an affirmation: like the earth, you are resilient, ancient, and always capable of blooming anew. This is the quiet confidence, a celebration of the strength found in softness, and beauty in the cycle of release and renewal.
