“7:13 PM”
In this still-life painting, a hidden window casts a light on several dark green stools, creating a geometric pattern. The patches of light that fall on the stools transform the dark green hues to a lighter shade, revealing their true color.
I was inspired by these green stools I saw every day back in college. In the evening, the light would hit them cinematically. After noticing it enough times, it became a little ritual of mine to try to see the light from the window transform the chairs before it faded. Shortly after moving away and missing school, I was inspired to capture the stools for myself, making this fleeting moment permanent.
Paintings like this remind me that life is often made of numerous small moments put together and form a collective memory. I was surprised by how much I missed those little moments after leaving school.
