About this artwork
“I Can’t Breathe”
In this oil painting, I sought to capture the quiet dialogue between light and shadow among trees. Layers of color and a textured sky create a calm yet contemplative atmosphere, inviting the viewer to sense the breeze, the fading light, and the stillness of nature. While the landscape appears serene, the work carries a deeper meaning shaped by the events of 2020.
During that year, COVID-19 spread worldwide, and breathing something… often taken for granted became a source of fear and vulnerability. At the same time, the death of George Floyd in Minnesota, after he repeatedly said, “I can’t breathe,” revealed profound social pain and injustice.
This painting reflects on breath as both a physical necessity and a symbol of freedom, dignity, and human rights. Through this work, I hope to encourage reflection on compassion, justice, and our shared responsibility to care for one another.
