Original artwork description:

“While we were sleeping” captures a moment of deep emotional transformation and inner peace. The painting portrays a young woman who has finally reached a state of calm after enduring emotional and personal trials. Resting in fetal position, she is enveloped in soft, white bedding that symbolizes safety, silence, and rebirth.

There is no tension here — only vulnerability and serenity. The poppy petals scattered nearby hint at past struggles and deeper symbolic meanings, while her peaceful expression speaks of healing and freedom. In this world, she no longer has to fight — she is simply allowed to be.

This work invites the viewer to reflect on softness as strength, and how moments of stillness can be just as powerful as action.
