The Painting Title “Palabas”, a group of individuals sits in quiet observance, watching a film unfold before them. Rendered in sepia graphite and acrylic, the work blurs the line between stillness and narrative, inviting viewers to reflect on the importance of taking a moment to rest amid life’s noise.

As part of the Indistinct Chatter exhibit, this piece contributes to a broader dialogue on how people navigate internal and external clamor. Here, the chatter is momentarily silenced—not by resolution, but by pause. The shared act of watching becomes a form of collective rest, suggesting that healing and reflection often begin in the quietest spaces.
