Longing

100 x 40cm, Acrylic on Canvas, 2026

Surrendering the self to fragments of pouring purity,
this work is a reflection of our adult selves,
yearning for a pristine state of innocence
to which we can no longer return.
The white petals filling the canvas
represent pieces of childhood
fragmented by the passage of time,
while the figure lying precariously upon them
symbolizes an ardent longing for purity.
It is a nostalgia for the most innocent era of life,
seen through the eyes of an adult who has experienced loss—
a melancholy yet sublime gesture
of attempting to grasp an unchanging value
amidst the blurred layers of memory.
