These elements resonate with the theme of decay and regeneration, themes often associated with the month of November. De Graag's mastery in using contrast between black and white enhances the visual impact, emphasizing the dramatic and robust form of the sunflower against a plain background."November" is not merely an image but a profound reflection on the passage of time, reminding us of nature's enduring cycles, even as it faces the harshness of the colder months.
