A Forever Young Soul (2024) features a female figure in the centre of the composition, who has been set against a golden background in which the colour emanates wisdom and a warm, welcoming feel. A pink tulip inside of a vase to the side of the woman complements her peaceful demeanour. The flowers at the bottom of the composition are blue and white, which harmonises the woman with the environment.
The silver-grey hair of the female figure flows down gently, which the artist describes as a symbol of maturity. This could be a comment on the idea that age is something to be embraced; it is not a bad thing, as inside, you are still the same person, young or old.
Bernardeschi Nelson describes her as having a “hippie” essence. She challenges the archetype that ageing is bad. Rather, ageing within the context of this work is about cultivating peace and harmony while connecting to the environment and rejecting the material.
