It's in the periphery where the still lifes are born.

We care about the things that are close to us. And this care is not only limited to our loved ones, pets and plants. We have a close relationship with the so called inanimate things. Many of us bring pebles from the beach to our homes, have a favourite glass to drink from and are frustrated and sad when a precious object scatters on the floor.
