It's Been Ages

"It’s Been Ages" captures a tender pause in time - a moment where memory and longing softly intertwine. A Black woman stands in quiet reflection, absorbed in the words of a handwritten letter from a long-missed loved one. As she presses freshly washed clothes with a vintage iron, her body remains grounded in routine, but her heart drifts gently into the past.

This painting is a meditation on intimacy, distance, and the precious weight of words once held in ink. Set in a domestic space filled with warmth and simplicity, the piece evokes a time when communication was slow, deliberate, and deeply felt.

With grace and restraint, the work honours the emotional landscapes we carry within - the stories folded into our days, the stillness that speaks, and the enduring strength of human connection across time and absence.
