DO NOT DISTURB

On this painting are the days when world asks too much. When the only honest answer is to pull the hood lower, turn the volume up, and disappear into someone else's story.

Do Not Disturb captures that specific kind of exhaustion — not the kind that sleeps, but the kind that reads. That retreats into towers of borrowed worlds because the real one is too loud, too much, too close.

Oil on canvas painted entirely by hand in successive dry glazes over a period of several weeks.
