Grasped was created during my time in Kipili, Tanzania. This painting holds memories of that village, the people I met, and the atmosphere I felt while I was there. It traveled with me across the country, but what stands out most to me are the children who gathered around as I worked.
They stayed close and watched every brush stroke with quiet curiosity. They seemed drawn to the process and to the calm that painting created. In return, they gave me something I did not expect. I felt welcomed, supported, and inspired just by sharing that space with them.
This piece reminds me of that experience. It shows how art can connect people, even without words. It reflects presence, curiosity, and the simple joy of creating together. That is what lives inside this painting for me.
