Just a Little While to Stay Here, 2025, acrylic on canvas, 26 x 23 inches
Just a Little While to Stay Here considers how closeness holds us together, even in passing. Through the interplay of texture, gesture, and mark, the work reflects on impermanence as a shared condition: tender, joyful, and unresolved. What’s stitched or scribbled becomes part of the language of holding on. This painting gathers what cannot be kept for long, treating memory not as static evidence but as something lived in fragments, rhythms, and warmth.
