Description
A quiet erosion of time through a palette of charcoals, mauves, and ghostly lavenders. The surface appears weathered—part wall, part sky—where paint seems to have been both added and worn away. Soft gradients of violet and smoke fade into each other, while scattered flecks of color and exposed underlayers suggest a slow, accidental beauty emerging through decay. There’s no clear focal point—just a lingering presence, like a memory that won’t quite take shape. It’s a meditation on deterioration, stillness, and the kind of quiet transformation that happens when no one is looking.
