NOT TODAY

NOT TODAY (2024)  – 80 CM x 53 CM  – ACRYLIC PAINTING ON CANVAS

Inspired by a vivid dream in which a mob leader shoved a gun into my mouth after I had angered his wife, this piece captures the peaceful intensity of that moment. The thoughts I experienced in the dream echoed, “I’m not afraid.” I knew I wasn’t ready to die, yet I wasn’t afraid of death either. I apologised, and he granted me mercy and then I woke up.
