A Fresh Cut

Sheyda Mehrara transforms Gatsby’s obsessively manicured lawn into a metaphor for longing and self-destruction. Layers of deep greens, turquoise, and quick strokes of white evoke both careful presentation and hidden rupture. Gatsby’s effort to impress Daisy—every blade trimmed, every detail perfected—becomes instead a fresh wound carved over old scars.
