Hanami

Oil on canvas, 35 × 40 cm
2025

“Hanami” literally means watching the flowers bloom.
There’s something sacred in letting time flow, in immersing ourselves in the moment when nature transforms without hurry.
This piece was born from the desire to pause, to observe with presence what is changing—both within us and around us.

March is the month of blooming, of rebirth, of finding the courage to move through change even with fear, but with eyes set on what’s to come.
It’s the awakening of the earth, the return of warmth, the growing of light.
In the cycle of time, 2025 is the Year of the Snake: a symbol of transformation and shedding old skin.

Hanami is this: to stay, to observe, to be present.
Maybe everything that scares us is simply opening the door to new parts of ourselves.
To new possibilities.
To a new blooming.
