The snowdrop—small, humble, and resilient, emerging through the frozen ground. Katie Sollohub’s yearly ritual of painting the first snowdrops is a quiet acknowledgement of the wheel of time; the cyclical qualities of life and the natural year.

There is an urgency in their appearance, and a quiet acceptance in letting them go: recording what is briefly present and held only for a moment before it passes.
