In DAHLIA, Szakats blends intimacy and historical reference incorporating a fragment from Andrea del Sarto's The San Gallo Annunciation (1512). The flower is viewed through an opening, suggesting an act of voyeurism which adds a layer of mystery and separation. This frame-within-a-frame evokes a sense of secrecy or forbidden observation, inviting viewers to reflect on the boundaries of access and presence. By positioning the flower in this manner, Szakats plays with themes of beauty, sanctity, and perhaps even the allure of the inaccessible, underscoring the delicate line between observation and intrusion.
