Acrylic on Canvas with Embellishment

16 x 20 in.  18 x 22 in. framed

Listen explores the power of receptivity: the moment when striving gives way to awareness. Her closed eyes and quiet profile create an inward stillness, while the saturated reds surrounding her pulse with life and possibility. Delicate Mehndi-inspired linework and jeweled embellishments emerge across the figure like an awakening inner world, creating contrast between silence and vibrancy. The composition suggests that becoming fully alive is not always about doing more, but about becoming quiet enough to notice what is already waiting for us.
