About This Work

Saying Hi To Me (That Was The Stranger All Along) 48" h x 24" w x 0.75" d Acrylic on Canvas Series: The Breath of Memory In this piece, the landscape of memory becomes a quiet event — something that rises slowly, almost imperceptibly, like a presence returning after years of absence. “Saying Hi To Me (That Was The Stranger All Along)” is a deeply atmospheric work from my The Breath of Memory series, a collection rooted in stillness, introspection, and the emotional residue of what’s left unsaid. Layers of muted blacks, earthen tones, and soft greys build a field that feels both infinite and intimate. Light moves through the upper portion of the canvas like a distant sky, while two vertical gestures descend like figures, threads, or echoes — marking a subtle conversation between what is emerging and what has long been hidden. This painting invites slow looking. It rewards presence. It holds the fragile moment when something long forgotten rises into recognition — the stranger who was never really a stranger. Finished with protective varnish and gallery-wrapped edges, the work arrives ready to hang.
