Falling Stillness — Artist Statement
This is a small painting, and I like the simplicity of it: four leaves, green and gold, with space around them. Their shapes suggest movement, but the painting as a whole feels settled.
I made it after a cool afternoon at the park with my daughter, Zaina, as summer was turning to autumn in 2025. We played, spent time together, and picked up the very leaves I later used to make this painting. It could easily have been an ordinary, unremarkable day. Being there together made it one I wanted to remember.
When I look at it, I remember the cool air and the calm simplicity of that time with her. It reminds me how simple what she needs from me can be: to be there, to pay attention, to share an afternoon. There is something just as simple in her love for me and mine for her. An ordinary day became one of those small, perfect moments, and these leaves give me a way to return to it. That is the feeling behind the name Falling Stillness.
Alongside my busier, more layered work, this piece gives me somewhere to pause. I can imagine it in a spot you see often—a desk, an entryway, a favorite corner—where something small can still make a difference to how the space feels.
About this work
The painting
Four leaf impressions in green and gold, made with leaves Zaina and I collected during a cool afternoon at the park in 2025—a reminder of time together and the simple importance of being present.
