Rest

oil on canvas 2023- The painting reflects on my experience of finding solace and respite in an uncertain world throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. “Rest” serves as a visual metaphor for viewers to contemplate the transformative power of stillness and rest, even in the face of uncertainty. At the heart of the painting, a woman lies nestled within a precarious nest, delicately perched in the branches of a tree. The nest represents a sanctuary—a place of tranquility amidst the upheaval. The muted color palette and delicate brushstrokes convey a serene atmosphere, emphasizing the quietude that permeated daily life during the pandemic. There is power in finding peace within ourselves and embracing the stillness that can be discovered in the world around us.
