Before sound, there is this — white, vast, and almost unbearably still. The First Note marks the very beginning of the arc, the moment just before feeling finds its form.
Layered brushstrokes move like breath across the canvas, interrupted by a single horizontal line and one quiet gold mark that asks: what comes next? There is no drama here. Only the silence before the first note falls.
Some beginnings look like nothing. They are everything.
