Summer Flowers

Jerome B. Thompson | 1859

In this reimagining of Summer Flowers, the quiet charm of Jerome B. Thompson’s domestic idyll is disrupted. What was once a celebration of stillness and nature’s gentle rhythms now bears the signs of modern disturbance. Two men on loud quad bikes race recklessly through the garden paths, their tires kicking up dust that settles on once-pristine flowerbeds. The roar of engines cuts sharply through the pastoral calm, turning a peaceful setting into a noisy arena.

Nearby, a young family stands together. The parents watch their daughter with quiet admiration as she gently picks flowers, unaware of the disruption closing in. They share a moment of connection and appreciation for the natural beauty around them. But that fragile peace feels increasingly at odds with the intrusion nearby; their expressions flicker between joy and concern as the noise grows louder.

This altered scene invites reflection on how we inhabit shared spaces. Do we still know how to move through the world with care? When thrill and speed overpower presence and attention, what is lost? The clash between old and new is more than visual; it is a question of values. What kind of world are we choosing to cultivate, and for whom?
