'Rosé Drift'

2023
Acrylic, pastels on paper

A glass of wine. A rose half-seen. Rosé Drift occupies the threshold between clarity and dissolution — the particular quality of attention that follows relaxation, when forms soften at the edges without disappearing entirely.

A rosebud hovers within the composition — semi-abstract, neither fully depicted nor fully released. Acrylic on A1 paper builds the image in layers that drift rather than settle, the bloom caught mid-air. The title carries both references simultaneously: the blush of the wine, the slow drift of a petal through still air.

Shown as part of the Vibrancy exhibition, 2025.
