Apologies Are Not Spoken

This painting examines how reconciliation and understanding can exist without explicit apologies. It considers the tension between absence and presence, highlighting how actions can serve as acknowledgment where words are absent. The work reflects on how care, change, and accountability can be demonstrated over time, and how growth in others can serve as a form of resolution. By focusing on observed transformation rather than verbal confession, the painting explores the complexities of forgiveness, the passage of time, and the ways human relationships are negotiated through behavior rather than language.
