The composition pulses with floating red ovals that drift like stepping-stones in the air, guiding the eye toward a playful figure assembled from warm oranges, yellows, and gentle greys. Each shape seems to lean forward, almost mid-stride, as if crossing from one world to the next.
On the left, a cluster of yellow and lilac forms blooms like wildflowers stirred by wind, while a soft blue arc sweeps across the center, evoking a wave, a horizon, or the idea of water waiting just ahead. Scribbled lines trace paths, hesitations, and possibilities—mapping the inner movement of someone trying to reach a new edge, a new clarity, a new shore.
The entire piece holds a sense of buoyancy: colors hover, figures rise, and gestures seem to lift the composition upward. It feels like transition—beautiful, uncertain, hopeful—rendered in pure abstraction.

I love it because it captures that tender in-between space where you’re not yet there, but you’re already changing. The colors feel like encouragement, the shapes like companions, the whole scene like a gentle push toward the unknown. It’s a poem about becoming—light, playful, and full of quiet courage.
