Come Back Please

A young woman presses her hand forward through a muted gray landscape, black tears streaking beneath her eyes.

A young woman looks outward from a textured gray background layered with vertical drips and softened brushwork. Black paint trails beneath her eyes, echoing the streaks that fall across the canvas. Her hand is raised toward the viewer with the words come back please written across her palm. The surface feels weighted and weathered, like something carried for a long time. This piece holds longing without spectacle. It reflects the quiet vulnerability of asking for return when there is no guarantee of answer.
