Nothing Is Broken

A window left open.
A sudden gust.
A vase tipped over — but not broken.

The image is drawn from a real object in my life: a small French vase given to my parents in 1955, just after the rebuilding of Europe following World War II. I’ve always been drawn to its quiet history — all the rooms it has lived in, all the lives it has witnessed.

Here, it becomes a metaphor for the way life tilts us. Things spill. Plans go awry. Emotions surge. But nothing here is shattered. The flowers can be lifted. The water wiped away. The window gently closed.

This is a painting about resilience — the deep, ordinary kind. The kind that doesn’t announce itself. It simply continues.
