Sometimes it's all we need ...
Francesca LaudeIn the midst of chaos, it can feel counterintuitive to slow down. Yet, creating time and space for ourselves is essential—not just for rest, but for inspiration, clarity, and growth.
This painting, titled Time And Space embodies this idea through a Moroccan-style building in the foreground, its windows opening to nothing but blue sky, with a single bird flying away. The words "Time and Space" are painted across it, serving as a reminder of the importance of quieting external noise and allowing room for ideas to flow.
When we pause, we give ourselves the opportunity to reflect, to process, and to see beyond the immediate distractions of daily life. Like the open windows in the painting, time and space allow us to expand our perspective, to welcome fresh ideas, and to reconnect with our deeper intuition.
The bird in the painting represents freedom, the ability to move beyond limitations, to rise above the noise, and to embrace a sense of openness. When we allow ourselves this space, we unlock a creative flow that cannot be forced or rushed.
Time and space are not luxuries; they are necessities. In making room for them, we give ourselves permission to dream, to create, and to truly listen to what our inner voice is telling us.
This painting is a visual encouragement to do just that—to embrace the stillness, to trust in the value of reflection, and to recognise that sometimes, the most powerful movement comes from simply allowing ourselves to be.
