Rendered entirely in shades of blue, Leaning Into It distills emotion through restraint. The solitary boy leans outward, suspended between yearning and surrender, his fragile posture speaking of pain, healing, and the quiet pull of the unknown.
The monochrome palette, chosen as both challenge and discipline, heightens the sense of stillness — a moment of acceptance as much as hesitation. Inspired by Khalil Gibran’s words, the work becomes a meditation on life’s longing, where to lean is both to risk and to trust.
