Generations echo. Memories haunt. Butterflies drift between the living and the remembered. Letters scatter. A lone figure stands in the landscape, suspended between destiny and choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eRendered in my signature henna-inspired black linework and softened with watercolor washes, this painting blends literary symbolism with ornamental rhythm — spirals of time, botanical growth, floating pages, and a clock that feels both ancient and suspended.
