Description:
Reset captures a moment of stillness at the edge of renewal. A woman sits at the dock, her reflection merging with the calm water as the sun stretches across the horizon. Wrapped in the warm hues of dawn, she appears suspended between memory and possibility — the quiet breath before beginning again.Through delicate brushwork and soft gradients, Ghesilhomme transforms solitude into strength. The piece speaks to healing, contemplation, and the gentle courage it takes to start over — not as an ending, but as a return to oneself.
