"For the Best" 2025 Oil on Canvas 50cm x 60cm 

 

A pair of hands hover close to contact, suspended between instinct and restraint - their proximity reflecting how deeply ingrained the connection had become, felt as much through habit as desire, and how difficult it is to choose what is right over what is familiar.

The work captures the tension of holding back between comfort and the clarity of distance. 

A subtle imbalance in their positioning - one hand sitting lower than the other - suggests the decision to hold back was not mutual, but made by one for the sake of both.

The lingering pull of instinct - a connection persisting beyond its natural end - is set against the deliberate absence of touch concluding that ultimately, distance is not loss, but the better choice.
