Only the River Knows is an original work in gold leaf on paper, 18 × 24 × 1.5 inches.
A child in a wide-brimmed hat sits at the water's edge, extending a paper boat toward the surface where others already float and drift upward, as though the river receives what is given and then decides what to do with it. The reflection below mirrors the figure with a precision that feels less like physics and more like accountability.
Children send things into water and let go. That act has always been ritual , a way of addressing something larger than yourself with a question you cannot ask directly. The boats carry marks, the weight of something meant to be said. The river takes them and keeps the answer. What the work holds is that specific longing: to communicate with something that cannot reply, and to trust the current anyway.
One-of-a-kind original. Gold leaf on paper. 18 × 24 × 1.5 inches.
