About this work

Some experiences become real before they become understandable. I have learned not to rush those moments.

There is a place where something has already changed, yet language hasn't caught up. We often hurry past it, eager to explain, define, or
conclude. This painting reminds me that some of the most important things in life ask for something different.

Not certainty, rather, attention.

Before the Name is less about what the painting means than about the place from which it came.
