- Artist Statement
- This painting captures a quiet moment of transition, a waitress just before her shift. Hands lifted to her hair, preparing herself to step into a role. This pause before service offers brief ownership of the self before it is offered up to the demands of others. The act of doing her hair is both practical and intimate, a gesture learned through repetition and carried out in solitude. In this moment, she is neither fully private nor fully public. She is rehearsing an identity that will soon be judged and relied upon, yet she remains alone with her body and thoughts.
