EYES That Remember, Wings That Protect: A Tale of Identity and Belonging
Eyes filled with longing, caught between a glorious past and an uncertain future. Seeking refuge, yearning for peace, drawn to roots that should never be forgotten.
In a world where past and future intertwine, the eyes in this piece reflect both hope and unease, anticipation and doubt. They are surrounded by wings—a timeless guardian, offering shelter to the restless and the lost. These wings are not just symbols of protection, but of history, of something greater than time itself.
The crown in this painting is not merely an emblem of power; it is a sanctuary, an identity, a truth that was never meant to be erased. Its jewels are not valuable only for their brilliance but for the memories they carry, the stories they tell.
The eyes in this painting are waiting—yearning for the return of something that perhaps should have never been lost.

Silent Witnesses : A Nation’s Gaze
This painting embodies a profound sense of collective watchfulness, capturing the unspoken fears, hopes, and resilience of a people caught between the past and the future. The eyes, scattered across the composition, are not merely passive observers—they are restless, searching, waiting. They reflect a nation’s longing for stability and the weight of history pressing upon the present.
The fluidity of the crown challenges conventional notions of power. Rather than a rigid symbol of authority, it takes on an almost ethereal quality—both a sheltering force and a reflection of collective identity. The choice to depict this crown, adorned with cultural and historical significance, evokes a deeper conversation about legacy, leadership, and the role of a unifying figure in times of uncertainty.
The interplay between painted elements and the reflective surface invites the viewer into the narrative. Here, art is no longer separate from the observer; it becomes a shared experience. As one looks into the painting, they see themselves among the watching eyes—an active participant in the story it tells.
This work is a meditation on a moment in time—a quiet yet urgent plea for restoration, protection, and unity. It speaks of a society at a crossroads, inhaling before the decisive moment that will shape its future.
