✨ Story and Meaning
Expectations is a visual reflection on something deeply human: the desire for connection, fulfillment, and transformation. While we’re often advised not to create expectations, they are what open us to discovery — to others, and most importantly, to ourselves.

This work represents the inner drive to keep believing, even in the face of disappointment. Rather than relying on the outside world, it expresses the power of dreaming from within, of moving life forward through what we feel and create with our own hands. It’s a painting that speaks to emotional maturity, inner strength, and the conscious choice to keep dreaming, creating, and feeling.

💡 About the Series The Highway
This series captures moments of decision, introspection, and forward movement. It’s about continuing onward — even without having all the answers. The road is long, filled with joys, challenges, and personal triumphs that are unique to each person’s journey.

Inspired by the freedom of abstraction, The Highway is an ode to color, life, and emotional flow. An intuitive, honest, and vibrant series — where each brushstroke becomes a choice.
