This painting was created during a moment of emotional suspension—the space between holding on and letting go. Rather than resolving the feeling, I allowed it to remain open, layered, and unresolved. The figure emerged slowly, then softened back into abstraction, mirroring the way emotions surface and retreat in real time.

I was interested in capturing what lingers after an experience has passed—the emotional residue that remains in the body even when words are gone. This work isn’t meant to provide answers; it’s meant to be lived with. Over time, the painting shifts with the viewer, revealing different emotional readings depending on where they are in their own journey.

Collectors who are drawn to this piece often connect to its quiet strength and vulnerability—its ability to hold space without demanding explanation.
