The four images submitted are part of an ongoing series of drawings capturing what I perceive as moments of stillness in my life. Some drawings are sparsely populated, while some show people cropped or in the form of a shadow. Others yet are devoid of figures and depict solitary settings or landscapes. The simplification of forms and colors I employ when making these allows me to distill what I see into something that is not only new, but also calmer and more orderly than our chaotic external world.
