An Initiate work for private collection.
Conveying a moment of stillness before the performance — where discipline softens into vulnerability, and poise is found not in spectacle, but in quiet preparation. There is beauty in the spaces between: the breath before movement, the solitude behind the curtain. In painting this piece, I wanted to honour the private rituals that sustain public grace — the grounding gestures no one applauds. It’s a meditation on presence, repetition, and the silent strength that lives in pause. A reminder that some of the most powerful moments — and the most beautiful — are the ones we so often overlook.
