Green Chillies (Verdant Harvest)

This still life suspends a row of fruit-like forms in a dense, mossy atmosphere, where outlines hover between appearance and dissolution as if memory were doing the drawing. The palette of deep greens and bruised ochres compresses space into a hushed interior, turning the tabletop into a low stage for quiet endurance rather than display. Subtle shifts of light skim the swollen volumes, suggesting ripeness on the edge of fading, while the surrounding haze reads like time itself—softening certainty, insisting on contemplation. In its refusal of crisp realism, the work becomes less about objects than about the intimate, almost vegetal patience of looking and remembering.
