Don't Leave

The painting becomes a quiet meditation on the fragility of childhood, capturing the child as he watches the drifting leaf like something slowly slipping away from his world. The reflection in the water and the cold light of the landscape deepen the sense of an inevitable transition, a subtle “don’t leave” whispered to a fading stage of life. Through the contrast between the child’s innocence and the symbolism of the leaf, the artwork gains a gentle yet profound emotional resonance.
