After the rain, everything slows.
The ground darkens, colours deepen, and the air feels heavier — fuller.
This work captures that moment when water has passed through the land and settled into it. Layers soften and bleed, marks loosen, and the surface holds evidence of what moved through. There is no urgency here, only presence — damp earth, muted light, and the quiet weight of growth.
After the Rain is about what remains once the noise clears.
A pause.
A breath.
The land, changed but grounded.
