Original artwork description:

Underflow explores the quiet forces that shape human connection and friendship — the subtle undercurrents of emotion, memory, and understanding that flow beneath words and appearances. It reflects on what endures even in silence: those invisible ties that make us feel at home and understood, even after years apart.

Across the surface, layered textures rise and dissolve like gentle currents or drifting light between two people meeting again after time and distance. Shades of gold, white, and muted grey merge in a soft, luminous rhythm, suggesting warmth overcoming separation — a visual echo of closeness that endures despite life’s shifting paths.

The large vertical format and refined neutral palette bring depth, serenity, and understated power to contemporary interiors, making Underflow both a contemplative and commanding statement piece.
