Landing

Titled Landing, this oil painting captures a fleeting, graceful moment as a bird touches down on a tree branch. The scene is filled with quiet tension — the stillness of the branch contrasts with the motion of the bird’s delicate wings, mid-fold. Soft brushstrokes and earthy tones evoke a sense of calm and precision, highlighting nature’s balance. There’s an emotional undercurrent of arrival and belonging, as if the bird has finally found a place to rest — a subtle symbol of peace, trust, or the end of a journey.

Artist Statement:

We live in the aftermath of history, of systems, of disasters, of desires. But the aftermaths are not just conclusions; they are thresholds. They mark the shift between
collapse and continuity, between what was and what could still be. Each artwork in
this series explores these quiet, in-between spaces — where endings blur into
beginnings, and where emotion lingers in the silence that follows.

The oil painting of separation captures the emotional residue left behind when
connections break — a girl sits apart, distanced from others, each behind her own
vase. The vases become symbols of unspoken feelings and the fragile remains of
closeness. This work dwells in the aftermath of intimacy, where solitude and memory
intertwine.

In the portrait of girls and vases, each figure holds her own emotional world behind a
still object — a vase that may be full, empty, or broken. These vessels mirror the
aftermaths of personal experiences, holding silent stories that mark the invisible shift
between vulnerability and resilience.

The painting Landing offers a counterpoint — a moment of gentle arrival. A bird
touches down on a branch, embodying the fragile hope in the wake of movement or
migration. It reflects the aftermath of motion: the threshold between flight and rest,
searching and settling.

Finally, the garden in fall invites us into nature’s own aftermath. The withering leaves
and muted colors evoke the quiet sadness of endings, yet also the calm acceptance that
prepares for renewal. It is a visual meditation on change — a reminder that aftermaths
carry not just loss, but transformation.

Together, these works form a collective landscape of aftermaths — emotional,
relational, and natural — where the past leaves its imprint, but the future still quietly
waits.
