I Could Almost Hold It

About the artwork
This series is about the quiet urgency of now. The way time slips through our hands like wind through branches, like petals falling before we realize they were there at all. It’s a reminder to stop, to watch, to listen. To recognize the beauty woven into every passing second before it dissolves into memory.
Everything is always moving—spring unfolding, light shifting, air carrying away what was just here. But in pausing, in truly seeing, we hold a moment as it is, before it becomes something else.
