The Visitor
The Visitor is a surreal tribute to longing, love, and emotional distance. Created during a 7-year long-distance relationship, this pastel dreamscape captures the bittersweet feeling of being close, yet worlds apart.
A girl in a flowing yellow dress—her hair like the artist’s—runs toward an archway beneath a Vanilla Sky. Beyond it, three giant swans glide across the horizon, silent and temporary. They’ve appeared suddenly, like a miracle or a chance at reunion, but she doesn’t know if she can reach them—or if they’ll wait.
Tulips bloom in the distance, rich with meaning: love, growth, and the quiet strength of emotional bonds. Planets float gently in the sky, hinting at parallel lives and unspoken futures. Beneath her, the still water reflects the entire moment—a fragile mirror of hope and memory. A splash from one swan shatters the surface, sending glitter into the air—a sign, a dream, or maybe a farewell.
