“Fifteen Leaves” gives voice to intersecting lives along a crossroads conspicuously adorned with lush leaves symbolizing growth, fertility and renewal, and which, in turn, comes across as sensitive, empirical and planetary in flavor: a locus amoenus in which each of these lives can feel encouraged to tell its own story, amiably transposed onto canvas, in an ideal condition where, as the American poet and writer Walt Whitman put it, as he himself stated in his 1855 collection of poems entitled “Leaves of Grass.” “the smallest bud shows that in reality there is no such thing as death, and if there ever was, it led to life, and does not wait for the end to arrest it, and it ceased the moment life appeared.”
