This painting captures the feeling of a dry, weathered landscape—where time has slowed and the earth has started to crack. Soft browns and rust-like reds stretch across the surface, with loose brushstrokes hinting at old paths and long-lost movement. It’s quiet and grounded, with a sense that something used to be here—but now it’s just stillness. That silence holds its own kind of story.

I was thinking about those moments in nature when everything stops—whether it’s a dried-up riverbed or a scorched patch of earth. There’s beauty in that kind of pause. "Parched Silence" grew from the idea of what’s left behind after water, sound, or motion disappears. It’s about quiet strength, faded memories, and places that feel empty but still hold something underneath.
