Gentle Traces

A simple table that keeps small hearts and silent things — a reminder that love often speaks most clearly in stillness.

Gentle Traces

I painted this piece at a moment when I wanted to pause — to step away from the noise of everything.
In front of me were only a table, a piece of cloth, and a few small heart shapes that somehow felt alive.

To others, it might seem simple — no grand scenery, no striking colors.
But for me, that’s where the beauty lies.
On this quiet table, I found a small, honest warmth — like traces of someone who was once here, who left behind a gentle feeling that words can’t quite explain.

Through this work, I’ve learned that love doesn’t always appear in grand or dramatic ways.
Sometimes, it lives in the smallest things easily overlooked — on the corner of a table, within the fold of fabric, or between long moments of silence.
And even when small, it remains… and it is still felt.
