Original artwork description:

“Respect”
Respect does not announce itself in this painting.
It lives in restraint — in the moment just before contact.
The hands pause.
They neither claim nor control,
but acknowledge the invisible line where another person begins.
This quiet gesture carries awareness, trust, and a depth of presence beyond words.
“Respect” explores one of the most essential human values —
the ability to sense another without crossing their space,
to remain close while honoring distance,
to express strength through softness and intention.
Rendered in a monochrome palette, the gesture becomes universal.
Free from identity, age, or story,
the image speaks through the shared, timeless language of hands.
This work belongs to the “Silent Values” series —
a reflection on human principles that exist without noise,
yet quietly sustain harmony and balance in the world.
