In Attention (2021, oil on canvas, 61 cm x 91 cm), the viewer is drawn into a surreal, emotionally charged forest scene where two elongated, ethereal figures stand amidst tall trees and a bed of delicate red flowers. The figure in the foreground, draped in a sweeping green garment, gazes intently toward a radiant, cascading waterfall, its textured strokes evoking movement and light. Behind them, another figure in a vibrant orange dress emerges from the shadowy woods, her blue hair and quiet expression suggesting mystery or longing. The contrast between the stillness of the forest and the dynamic flow of the waterfall, as well as the tension between the two figures—one focused outward, the other seemingly observing—creates a visual meditation on presence, perception, and the unseen forces that guide our attention.
