It Was Always Greener Here

“When understanding feels impossible and comparison comes easily, attention wanders beyond the walls of our own body. But growth works inward. Only then do we see what had been growing beneath our feet.”

Comparison has a way of pulling our gaze outward, convincing us that something is missing, that somewhere else holds more than we do. This painting reflects that drift, and the slow return that follows it. Inspired by personal struggle, it captures the moment of turning inward, of recognizing that what once felt lacking was simply misunderstood. What we have grows quietly, often unnoticed, until we learn how to see it.
