I often draw quite randomly; ideas simply appear in my head and demand to exist.

This one was born from the autumn vibes of 2024. Autumn has always felt like a threshold to me: beautiful, warm, and yet carrying the quiet weight of something ending. Nature changes its colors not in grief, but in one last, gorgeous display, before letting go.

At the time I drew this, I was going through a similar season in my own life. A period of decay and transition, with the hope that a new spring would eventually come. I didn't plan to paint that feeling. It just found its way in.
