Artist Statement
As the seasons change, I am drawn to the moments in between. In this work, the road becomes both a physical journey and a passage through memory, while the luminous sky captures the fleeting beauty of transformation. I wanted to evoke the quiet enchantment of twilight, when light, color, and time seem to slow, inviting reflection on change not as an ending, but as a beginning.
