This painting captures a moment suspended in thought; a figure glimpsed behind glass, framed by fractured planes and stair-like diagonals that suggest motion, yet no destination.
Light slants through the grid, but the path isn’t clear.

The title, Up Wasn’t Certain, speaks to hesitation, memory, and quiet doubt. It could be a stairwell in a city, or a metaphor for the mind, structured, layered, uncertain, and full of echoes.

As with all of my work, the piece invites quiet observation and rewards slow looking. It holds space for those drawn to ambiguity and architectural beauty, for whom stillness is not an absence of movement but the presence of reflection.

The composition echoes the architecture of modern buildings, but the emotional charge is unmistakably human. Cool tones of blue create calm, while fragments of warm light suggest life unfolding just out of reach.

As with much of Moore’s work, the piece offers more each time you return to it. It’s a painting for the thoughtful observer — someone who finds comfort in ambiguity, and meaning in the quiet.
