"Before the Storm Sang"
Palette: Sand Beige, Jet Black, Faded Indigo
Description:
In the center of a silent desert, an open black umbrella stands tall—waiting, watching. Above it floats a single indigo raindrop, suspended in stillness, refusing to fall. Before the Storm Sang captures the impossible moment before release—the inhale before the storm, the held breath of emotion never spoken.
This surreal, meditative piece invites the viewer into a space of restraint, resilience, and reverence. The vast beige dunes stretch endlessly beneath a stormless sky, emphasizing the tension between what is and what could be. The umbrella becomes more than shelter—it is a symbol of readiness in the face of unknowns. The raindrop, glistening yet frozen, holds the weight of all that’s been withheld.
