This painting is not about movement, it is about the moment before it.
Edge of Releasecaptures the tension between opposing forces: light and shadow, restraint and desire, silence and eruption. The divide across the canvas reflects an internal threshold and a place where grace holds, even as pressure builds.
There are moments in life that feel calm, almost suspended, yet beneath them runs a deeper current. A sense that meaning is forming. That direction is shifting. That something is waiting to be released.
Vincent van Gogh once poured his inner world into letters never intended for acclaim, only connection. Their power was realised later, when the world finally caught up with the honesty of the work. This painting draws from that same truth,that art often lives first in silence, before it finds its voice.
