Unripe
A small still life in oil on wood. Three green bananas rest on a folded tablecloth, hand-embroidered by my aunt — a quiet intersection of growth, labor, and waiting. The cloth, soft and lovingly made, contrasts with the firm, unripe fruit, hinting at patience and transformation. In this pairing, a moment is held: the pause before ripening, the beauty of things not yet ready.
