Just Passing By | Drawing and colored pencil, 2025

In "Just Passing By," the interaction between hand and butterfly speaks to the delicate nature of time and the fragility of life’s fleeting moments. It reminds us to embrace these brief encounters, to appreciate them fully, and to be present, knowing that not all connections are meant to be held. Some are simply meant to be appreciated for their momentary beauty, shaping us in ways we often don’t realize until they are gone.
