Just fly (2026) Original Watercolour by Delnara El

This work was exhibited at my solo show “Hold the Light” in Turkey in 2026.

This work continues my ongoing series with windows, where the window becomes both a frame and a threshold — a quiet place where inner and outer realities meet. In these paintings, the act of looking becomes a form of movement, where what lies beyond the glass inevitably reflects the landscape within.

Soft light fills this scene, dissolving the certainty of space and transforming the view outside into something suspended between memory and presence. The window is not merely an architectural element here but a witness — holding the fragile dialogue between shelter and openness, intimacy and distance.

The bird moving through the luminous atmosphere introduces a subtle sense of passage and freedom. It becomes a fleeting presence, a reminder that horizons are never entirely outside of us but often begin as inner movements — quiet impulses toward change, longing, or return.

The translucent curtain and shifting light soften the boundary between interior and exterior, allowing the visible world to merge with emotion and imagination. In this work, the window becomes a place of pause and contemplation — a threshold where stillness and motion coexist, and where light gently reveals what cannot always be spoken.
