Dark Hug of Time
24 x 24 x 1.75
oil and cold wax on panel

Dark Hug of Time is a meditation on memory and the passage of seasons, rendered in oil and cold wax. The painting’s layered surfaces trace the slow fading and sharpening of recollections, much like autumn leaves fading in the light. Thick, tactile strokes rest alongside translucent washes, inviting contemplation of what endures and what quietly slips away.

Created during a period shadowed by my sister’s illness, this work channels the complex embrace of loss—how memories overlap in contrasting layers, some vivid, others more elusive. The fall-inspired palette emerged almost without intent, reflecting the natural cycle of endings that make room for renewal. Through this piece, I sought to hold close the dark warmth of time itself, capturing its weight and tenderness in color and texture.
