In Wings of Passage, a collection centered on the imagery of birds, the paintings explore the complex interplay of grief and hope. Swallows, traditionally symbols of freedom, renewal, and safe return, are depicted in moments of flight and play against delicate skies, turbulent winds, and shifting light. Each painting captures the birds in dynamic, sweeping motion, their paths weaving and intersecting like memories — some fleeting, some lingering.
Through muted tones and vibrant contrasts, the swallows embody grief as they dip into shadowed clouds, yet they rise into light, representing resilience and hope. Their graceful, untiring wings remind us that loss and hope are intertwined, as each carries us through life’s seasons. This collection invites viewers to find solace in the cycles of departure and return, and to embrace both the weight and lightness that come with each new beginning.
