“The Path We Walk” reflects on how we move through life — step by step, between light and darkness.​

A solitary figure crosses a striped path, symbolic of the journey each of us takes. The crosswalk becomes a metaphor: each stripe a milestone, each square of light a moment of clarity, a memory, or a turning point.​

The figure is not someone specific — it represents all of us, walking forward even when the destination is unclear. The textured surface and palette knife strokes express both fragility and resilience.​

Painted with a restrained palette, the work invites quiet reflection. It’s not just about a city scene, but about motion, silence, and the emotional terrain of moving through time. It is a portrait of perseverance and presence — the moments that illuminate us as we go.​
