Another Brick in the Wall

"Another Brick in the Wall" is a commissioned painting created for a dear friend, capturing a pivotal moment that marked the beginning of a new chapter. Inspired by the surreal sight of him presenting me with a white house-brick on house-moving day, this piece explores the complex emotions tied to the purchase of a 400-year-old dilapidated cottage—my dream home, that seemed full of promise and now, seemingly, uncertainty. The painting conveys a sense of euphoria mixed with apprehension, reflecting both the excitement of moving into a new home and the underlying fear of what hidden challenges might lie within its crumbling walls.
