Original artwork description:

This is time we allow ourselves.
A few hours of calm, when it feels as if the world has been put on pause.

People sit together in a simple, warm moment — without plans, without tension, without the need to look far ahead. They are here and now, in a lightness we call rest. In conversation, in silence, in each other’s presence.

Around them is something larger. It does not move or interfere. It simply exists.
It is always there, even when no one thinks about it.

“Weekend” is about that fragile state in which a person chooses calm over vigilance.
About a moment when we turn away from what is vast and dark not because we are unaware of it, but because we are tired of knowing.

This painting is not about fear.
It is about trust in the moment.
About the human ability to relax — even when the world remains much larger than us.
