{"product_id":"rest-and-rise-again","title":"Rest and Rise Again","description":"\u003cp\u003eGiorgia Bel’s work reflects a meditation on the rhythms of life, the passage of time, and the quiet certainty found in nature and family. Drawing inspiration from the cycles of the earth, her practice considers growth, change, and tenderness as inseparable from daily life, celebrating both its simplicity and its fullness. Through her paintings, Bel explores the calm and holiness that coexist with chaos, capturing the subtle beauty of living things and the unfolding of human connection. In this interplay between the natural world and personal experience, her work finds purpose in the ongoing cycle of becoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the Artist's Own Words:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.” — Henry David Thoreau\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs I rise and lie down with each passing day—seasons folding into one another, my spring feeling like a midsummer daydream—I return to these words. They remind me of life’s beauty: its fullness, its simplicity, its extravagance, all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt times, I feel overwhelmed. There is chaos within and around us. And yet, there is also the calmest night, a quiet holiness, warmth, and kindness. The earth remains a constant reminder of the gift of life. It is born, it grows, it gives—and when its time comes, it returns to where it began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat mirrors this significance for me is my family—the one I am building, the one still unfolding. With each passing day, the seasons of our own becoming reveal themselves. There is growth, change, tenderness, and awe. I am humbled by the glory of living things—the earth and all its inhabitants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd so I resign myself to the influence of the earth. It knows its purpose and fulfills it with quiet certainty. In the growth and becoming of this family, I find my own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis, too, is purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giorgia Bel","offers":[{"title":"38 x 38 inches | Original Work \/ Walnut \/ Reveal","offer_id":44954291306678,"sku":"GB_RARA_PAINTING_38.0_X_38.0__A697_A24804","price":4900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"38 x 38 inches | Original Work \/ Natural \/ Reveal","offer_id":44954291273910,"sku":"GB_RARA_PAINTING_38.0_X_38.0__A697_A24804","price":4900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"38 x 38 inches | Original Work \/ White \/ Reveal","offer_id":44954291241142,"sku":"GB_RARA_PAINTING_38.0_X_38.0__A697_A24804","price":4900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"38 x 38 inches | Original Work \/ Unframed \/ N\/A","offer_id":44954291339446,"sku":"GB_RARA_PAINTING_38.0_X_38.0__A697_A24804","price":4100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/7736\/files\/Rest-and-Rise-Again-38x38-Walnut.jpg?v=1773299561","url":"https:\/\/www.tappancollective.com\/products\/rest-and-rise-again","provider":"Tappan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
