The weight of Stillness

This painting speaks about the quiet side of control — the attempt to hold life in order, knowing it is always shifting. The white vessels feel like carefully arranged thoughts; between them, the red fruits pulse with energy, almost too alive for the stillness around them. It’s a moment of suspension — the breath before something happens.

What moves me is the invisible: the tension beneath the calm surface. The scene reminds me of those seconds in life when you sense that something might change — a word, a feeling, a balance — and you wish the silence could stay, even as it starts to fade.

For the viewer, this work can act like a mirror. It asks for stillness, yet never offers it completely. There is always that quiet awareness that everything, even peace itself, is already in motion.
