“Only Within” is a large self-portrait capturing a deeply personal moment of introspection and connection with music. One late afternoon, I sat on the bathroom floor with my guitar, bathed in the warm, golden hues of the sunset light streaming through the window above the bathtub.In that quiet solitude, I removed my hearing devices, allowing myself to fully embrace the vibrations of my guitar. If I didn’t have the nerves in my cochleas, I would experience only the resonance, the deep, physical connection to the music within me. This painting reflects that intimate journey, where sound becomes something I feel rather than hear, turning music into a sensory experience that exists only within.
