30 × 40 cm (framed) • 2025
This intimate graphite drawing was created as the working study for a later painting—born from a deeply human story of loss, remembrance, and the quiet work of healing. It explores the stillness of ordinary objects—a vase, thread, fruit, blossoms—yet each carries a symbolic tenderness.
The spool of thread suggests repair, continuity, and the unseen stitching of the heart after rupture. The blossoms, both present and softly unfolding, hint at life that continues to open even after sorrow. The fruit holds both nourishment and fragility, while the vase—centered, transparent, and imperfect—feels like a vessel for grief itself: able to hold, but never fully contain.
Though it began as a preparatory drawing, the work carries its own gentle gravity. There is no sentimentality—only presence. A sense that beauty remains possible, even necessary, when words have fallen silent.
A quiet balm. A tender witness.
A drawing that does not explain, but accompanies.
