Invisible Request is a painting I created after an evening with a friend I almost didn’t show up for. I wasn’t in the best headspace and didn’t feel like being around anyone, not even my best friend but they insisted.

We didn’t talk about what was wrong. We just sat, ate, laughed, made plans, and reminisced. And somehow, that was enough.

In that moment, everything felt full again.

I didn’t realise I needed that kind of support, but my best friend did. They always seem to know that when I resist the most, it’s when I need it the most.

Sometimes, it’s not about solving everything. Sometimes, it’s just a dinner, a drink, and a reminder that you’re not alone.
