When the Colors Let Go

Water color · 42 × 59 cm · 2020

When the Colors Let Go is a portrait of dissolution and awakening. At first glance, a standing figure forms itself from layered fragments of color—each hue holding onto another as if resisting time. But with every moment spent in observation, the form loosens. Colors detach, gently floating into space, like memories lifting into light. This painting is not about disappearance—it is about becoming. It reveals the moment when what we cling to begins to release itself, not in destruction, but in transformation. Even as the figure dissolves, it radiates serenity, whispering that there is beauty in letting go, and that in fragmentation, we discover our truest form.
