Norwegian Wood!: The Beatles NL
In this piece, the iconic green glasses lie on the floor, symbolizing John Lennon and reflecting a night filled with deep conversation. The bird represents the girl who stayed with him, talking into the early hours before saying, “It’s time for bed.” By morning, she had left for work, leaving behind a lingering solitude.
The soft light streaming through the window creates an atmosphere of quiet contemplation, capturing the bittersweet realization of someone’s absence. At the heart of the piece, a simple glow replaces what once was a fire and log—a transformation inspired by the lyrics, “I let the fire, isn’t it good Norwegian wood.” This softened light embodies the fading warmth of that intimate moment.
The surrounding forest reflects this pensive mood, inviting the viewer to explore the complex emotions of memory and the melancholy of being left behind. The cigarette, record player, and glasses deepen the nostalgia, each element weaving into the story of a fleeting connection and the quiet that follows.
