"the weight of waiting"

Artwork story

Tittle: "The weight of waiting" 2024. Medium: acrylic & charcoal on canvas Dimension: 32 inches circumference

The fruit is completely still, stuck between its ripeness (readiness) and its potential (being picked). This stasis embodies the feeling of being unable to move forward while waiting for an external event to occur.

The presence of the hand holding the apple subtly introduces the viewer as the waiter. It makes the waiting personal and grounds the intense artistic focus of the piece into a tangible human moment.
