Not For Sale
In this drawing, light and shadow come together to reveal a quiet surprise — a heart-shaped form resting on the ground. It’s a reminder that nature has a way of whispering love into the ordinary, if only we pause to notice. What might seem like a fleeting moment becomes something extraordinary, grounding us in beauty, presence, and gratitude.
Inspired by Buddy Holly’s song 'Rave On' that celebrates the persistence of love, this piece reflects how nature carries that same enduring rhythm. Just as a heartbeat keeps life moving forward, love continues to echo through the world around us — in light, in shadow, and in every small miracle the earth offers.
