About the Item

“Expectation” is a moment of pause—a snapshot of the universal experience of waiting. Through the eyes of the face, we feel the weight of hopes and dreams held in limbo. The tricycles remind us that journeys may be delayed, but they are not abandoned. The painting serves as a powerful reminder of the beauty and struggle embedded in anticipation, and the quiet strength it takes to wait for what is yet to come. This piece captures the quiet power of expectancy, drawing the viewer into a meditative moment of reflection on life’s pauses and the journeys that lie ahead.
