The Man Outside Her Window
A dark, narrative figurative print: a man stands in the cold street, closest to the warm light and furthest from it at once. Lit in deep teal, charcoal and lamplight gold, it lends a moody, dark-academia stillness to a study, bedroom or hallway. A framed archival giclée canvas print, 32×24 in, ready to hang.

The story behind the piece
This piece began with a friend. He was the strongest man I knew — sure of himself in a way the rest of us envied. When he asked a girl in our neighborhood to marry him, he did not expect an answer; he expected a formality. She said no. Simply. That should have been the end of it.
It was the beginning.
What I watched over the months that followed was not heartbreak. It was something older and stranger — obsession, the kind you read about in the old stories and assume people invented. One freezing December night I saw him standing in the street, facing her lit windows, not moving. Not calling out. Just standing, as if proximity alone could change an answer. The lights were warm. He was not invited into any of them. I have never forgotten the shape of him against that cold.
This painting is about the distance a person will refuse to accept. About what longing does when it has nowhere to go. He is closest to the light and furthest from it at the same time.
