ascending into light, beneath mirrored steel and toward a symbol of centuries past, one figure steps forward. the silence of the frame holds weight — here, progress and memory converge in architecture and shadow.

Artist Statement:

The Longest Arrival is the final piece in a visual trilogy that explores confrontation with the unknown. A sacred temple. A locked gate. And now a rail that leads deep into time itself.

Unlike the other pieces, this one is in motion. But we never see the traveler. We only sense their destination.

This is not the train of commerce or commute. This is the train of crossing over the pilgrimage between the Self you knew and the version you will have to become.

It is lonely. It is loud. It is already coming.

️ Artist Statement:

“Vow of Silence” is not about secrecy it is about sacred stillness. In a world intoxicated by speed and spectacle, this portrait is a rebellion through quietude. The closed eyes and tightly bound fabric are not barriers but vessels: holding presence, grief, wisdom, restraint.

The subject does not seek to be seen. He is not hiding either. He is simply being.

This piece explores themes of inner monasticism, personal sovereignty, and the aesthetics of retreat. It honors those who speak loudest by not speaking at all.

Artist Statement:

This piece is a meditation on devotion — not just spiritual, but material. In a world flooded with symbols, this work explores what we choose to leave behind and what we carry with us. The ornate handbag, embellished and still, lies abandoned at the foot of a stairway of light. The woman ahead walks into the unknown, uncloaked, alone — but something of her remains: a softness, a joy, a decadence. The flower is not wilting. It waits.

This piece is not anti-material. It’s pro-memory. It’s about beauty as both burden and legacy.
