Odd imagery. Haven’t seen a piece quite like this. The wilting sunflowers, hornets (one of which is dead), failing sunlight as if a storm was coming, holes in the sweater, etc. It all conjures feelings of decay, or perhaps danger.

Not to mention the color of the subject's hair, sweater and beverage adding a layer of rustyness to the aesthetic.
