the Aftermath

11” x 14” Oil on canvas

The Aftermath captures the quiet moment after the gathering has ended—the scraps left behind, the shifted cutting board, the last piece of bread. Rather than focusing on the meal itself, this painting centers on the act of coming together: shared food, shared time, and the warmth that lingers once the table is cleared.

Painted from a quick photograph taken at the end of the night, the composition is built from half-eaten bites and overlooked details. These remnants form unexpected shapes and rhythms, transforming an ordinary scene into something intimate and familiar. The piece reflects an interest in everyday rituals and the subtle beauty found in moments often passed over.
