Original artwork description:

This work was born out of a shared fatigue — a heaviness that seems to have settled over everything and everyone for too long. The world feels tense, uncertain, as if we're all holding our breath inside a stretched-out winter of the soul.

But this painting is not about despair. It is about the moment just before change — when the ice begins to melt, quietly, unnoticed at first. It is about the subtle arrival of spring. The kind of spring that doesn’t burst in with fanfare, but creeps in softly, with fragile flowers and light that slowly grows stronger.

I wanted to say this: It’s almost over. Hold on. The stillness will break. The weight will lift. The cold is fading. Something new is coming — tender, warm, and alive.

This is a message to anyone who feels worn down, invisible, or lost: you are not alone. The thaw has already begun. Hope is not gone — it’s just been quiet. But it’s still here. And soon, everything will be okay.
