This piece is a visual sanctuary. The woman and cat silhouette, sheltered under an umbrella overflowing with flowers and light, stands protected within a sweeping, textured void. The dark, embracing shapes surrounding her suggest large, rough hands or wings offering a guarded space.

Painted as a trace of grieving, it speaks to the quiet, internal place we retreat to when the world is too much, a refuge where memories (the 'flowers') are safely kept even when surrounded by the darkness of loss. It is the deep comfort found in carrying one's own sense of home.
