Original artwork description:

Weightless Joy began one quiet morning as I watched curtains lift softly in the breeze, illuminated by pale daylight. There was something almost magical in that gentle motion — as if the air itself were sketching shapes out of light, blurring the boundary between gravity and grace.

The flowing forms in this painting echo that moment: the subtle way air enters a room and moves around us unnoticed. Soft tones of gold, white, and gray-black shadow weave together, capturing how energy can feel both powerful and tender at the same time. Its textured surface shifts with the light, reminding me that emotions often rise from the simplest things, pass through us, transform, and leave behind a quiet resonance.

For me, this piece speaks of freedom — not as escape, but as openness, a willingness to let life move through us with trust. It reflects that quiet, luminous kind of joy that lives beneath the surface, waiting to rise when we slow down enough to feel it.
