Inspiration was found in the hush of early morning—when the world is just beginning to stir, and the air holds a sense of quiet anticipation. This piece embodies that fleeting moment before the day fully awakens, when light softly filters through frost-laced windows, casting warm reflections onto cool surfaces. The neutral tones reflect the stillness, the calm before movement, while the bold flickers of orange suggest the first sparks of energy—perhaps embers from a lingering fire or the glow of dawn breaking against the horizon.

Every brushstroke carries the weight of solitude and introspection, yet there’s an undeniable pulse beneath the surface—an unspoken promise that change is coming, that warmth will prevail, that the stillness is only temporary. It’s a visual meditation on transition and resilience, a reminder that even in muted moments, the essence of life burns bright.
