Held in Air

Held in Air is an oil painting about pause, connection, and the quiet moments we often overlook. Two origami birds face one another, suspended in an open, abstract space. Inspired by the language of origami, the birds suggest fragility and transition, yet they are held in stillness rather than flight.

The textured surface gives the forms a gentle weight, drawing the viewer closer, while the soft, muted background allows them to hover calmly within the composition. This balance creates a sense of peace and openness.

The work reflects on the space between departure and arrival, where tension softens and connection feels most present. With its restrained colour palette and subtle symbolism, Held in Air invites slow looking and offers a calming presence for any space.
