✨ Story & Meaning
There is no time more precious than the present. Present is a celebration of the now — a reminder that each day is a gift, a chance to love, to create, to live with purpose. The future is shaped by today, and the present moment is where life truly happens.

This artwork was created on a reclaimed Brazilian truck tarp that spent over a decade crossing roads and landscapes. Its texture and imperfections — seams, patches, marks — are not flaws, but honest reflections of time.
The piece becomes a poetic invitation to embrace life fully, one moment at a time, and honor the beauty of what cannot be repeated.
