Linden: The Return of Light (Diptych) (2025) Original Pastel Drawing by Alla Semenova

This diptych holds a fragile passage —
the moment when winter is not yet gone,
but spring has already begun.

The linden tree outside my window endured a difficult season:
wind, frost, bare ground, and the disturbance of its roots.
For a long time, nothing seemed to change.

And then — the first leaves appeared.

Not fully open, not yet strong.
A light, almost transparent green,
as if the tree is carefully returning to itself.

Across the two panels, this quiet transformation unfolds:
from stillness and memory of cold
to the first, gentle movement toward life.

There is no sharp boundary between seasons here.
Only a soft shift —
where light begins to touch what has endured.
