Quiet Clarity

This painting lives in the quiet space after the release,

where emotion no longer bursts or spirals

but settles into its true shape.

The colors drift like warm smoke,

softening the edges of whatever was heavy.

There is a calm here—

not the calm of emptiness,

but the calm of understanding.

The deep reds hum like a heartbeat,

the purples melt into one another like memory,

and a faint light pushes through the haze,

gentle but insistent.

This is the moment when feeling becomes reflection,

when everything you’ve carried begins to dissolve

into something warmer, quieter,

and finally your own.
