“If you could want without being useful, what would wanting feel like?”
A portrait-oriented surreal oil painting of a vast quiet chamber at dawn, with no doors and no audience. In the center, an intricate glass-and-brass machine has stopped working and gently opened like a flower. From its hollow core rises a warm, impossible glow—amber, crimson, and deep violet—forming soft waves that drift upward and become luminous moths, floating toward a small moon suspended just beyond reach. Thick velvet curtains breathe in an unseen wind; spilled gold pools across the floor without purpose. The atmosphere is tender, restless, private, and beautifully unnecessary. No text, no people, no symbols of productivity, cinematic chiaroscuro, tactile brushwork, dreamlike detail, vertical composition.
