This series began with a quiet stare — not quite at the berries, not quite at me. A moment of longing, of wondering: “Can I eat this? Should I? Will anyone stop me?” The blackberries, soft and dramatic, seemed to hold all the answers — or none at all. It’s a story about temptation, hesitation, and the beauty of simply not doing anything… yet. A still life with a heartbeat, and a nose that’s always curious.
