"Sorrow Beneath the Sheltered" [No.5]

$2,400.00

Original - No. 5 (Depression)

“Threads of Solace: Layers of Grief” Collection

36×36 in. - Acrylic on 1.5in. Gallery-Wrapped Cotton Canvas

“Sorrow Beneath the Sheltered” is the fifth work in a series exploring the emotional phases of grief, inspired by the artist’s personal experience with loss. This fifth phase explores depression through moments of vulnerability - the piece captures both the safety and discomfort of letting sorrow flow. The willow’s branches offer shelter and a reminder of withdrawal from life’s joys, asking whether sorrow will ever lift or remains woven into the heart.

The canvas is filtered in layers of deep greys, with touches of blue, rust, and cream. Diluted textures evoke standing beneath a willow in persistent rain, where time stands still and resolution feels distant. The foggy, layered surface reflects emptiness and isolation, while shifting tones suggest unpredictable waves of pain and numbness.

Within this space, time feels suspended, and the textures of rain, shadow, and muted color invite a deeper spiritual and emotional introspection.

Each piece includes a certificate of authenticity, a personal artist statement, and a dedicated poem written to echo its emotional core.

Dedicated Poem:

The poem extends the imagery of the artwork into language, deepening its mediation on grief and depression. The piece evokes the sensation of being lost beneath the shelter of a willow tree, where branches veil the world in quiet solitude. The willow, with it’s ability to bend without breaking, becomes both a symbol of fragility and resilience - an emblem of how sorrow can weigh heavily yet not entirely destroy.

Beneath the willow’s arms,

Rain threads the silence-

Gray upon gray,

Sorrow drips in slow, uncounted hours

Tears gather quietly,

Falling unseen to the earth,

Life fades at the edge of vision,

Branches cradle both ache and shelter,

Warmth flickers, then recedes.

This sorrow - a passing storm,

Or the fabric of the heart -

Woven, worn,

Sheltered, but never done.
