"In 'The Couple,' I wanted to explore the quiet complexities of connection and disconnection. The woman sits across from the man, her gaze piercing and direct, engaging with the viewer as if searching for something beyond the confines of this moment, perhaps even questioning her place in the world. The man, in contrast, is absorbed in his beer, oblivious to her presence, caught up in his own thoughts. Around them, the scene of the pub continues—two men at the bar with their backs turned, lost in their own worlds. A Lowry painting on the wall subtly echoes this theme of isolation, depicting figures who look outward but not at each other.
This piece is less about what is seen and more about what is felt—the spaces between people, the untold stories, and the search for meaning in the everyday moments we often take for granted.
