This modernist abstract piece embodies the moment of decision—the act of reaching, choosing, and stepping forward. Like a carefully arranged shelf filled with objects of meaning and memory, the composition is structured yet fluid, divided into compartments that hold abstracted shapes reminiscent of books, vessels, and personal artifacts. These forms, outlined in bold black lines, suggest a collection of possibilities, each waiting to be grasped.

The muted yet grounding palette of soft blues, earthy greens, and warm neutrals reflects contemplation and quiet confidence. Some shapes appear to be shifting, as if being lifted from their places—symbolizing the moment someone reaches out, takes hold of their aspirations, and begins to shape their own story. Stacks of books seem to tilt, objects are set in motion, and negative spaces whisper of choices made and paths yet to be taken.

Off the Shelf is a meditation on transition and self-discovery. It celebrates the courage to step forward, to clear away the old, and to make space for new aspirations—one chosen object, one bold step at a time.
