At Peace, 2023

14" x 17" Watercolor on Paper; unframed.

In At Peace, a human face emerges from a dense halo of tangled vines, as though the mind itself has been reclaimed by the slow, patient logic of nature. The growths coil and knot around the head like accumulated thoughts, memories, and years, yet there is no violence in their grasp—only an enveloping stillness. The calm expression suggests surrender rather than entrapment, evoking a quiet acceptance of being rooted in time, where peace is found not by escape, but by no longer resisting the tangled whole of what one has become.
