Reflections

Reflections is a layered memory, painted slowly, transformed through time and emotion.

Each layer of acrylic and oil holds traces of sorrow, folded gently into pigment until they softened into peace. The work was born from a single memory — a moment suspended on a lake in the stillness of the Estonian summer. I was alone in a boat, far from the shore. Nobody could reach me. Nobody could interrupt my silence. I was untouchable. And for the first time in a long time, I felt safe.

I have a deep fear of water. And of its depth. But out there, floating on something I fear, I felt joy. Beauty. Total presence. The yellow water lilies drifting on the surface became more than flowers — they were the proof that solitude can be soft, not sharp. This painting holds the echo of that stillness.

It is not about loneliness. It is about being finally, exquisitely alone — and happy in it.
