“The Things We Didn't Say”
We sat down to watch something light.
Instead, we remembered everything.
The birthdays we missed. The half-finished conversations. The strange comfort of sitting quietly next to someone who isn’t asking you to be anything else.
This isn’t nostalgia. It’s a still frame from a feeling.
*My illustrations are created with my own custom diffusion models, MJ moodboards, SD/MJ ai rendering, and my own painting, rendering, touch-ups, and assemblage in Photoshop. Custom textures. Custom effects. Custom filters from Topaz Studio... blah blah blah. My own unique mix of analog, digital, and diffusion(ai) techniques.
