When Boys Become Men captures the silent shift from innocence to responsibility. A solitary tire swing hangs motionless—once a vessel of laughter, now a relic of memory. The scene is quiet, almost sacred, wrapped in layers of resin, oil, and encaustic that echo time’s irreversible passage.

There is no drama in this departure—only stillness. The joy doesn’t vanish; it lingers in the space between moments, in the shadows cast by growth. This framed piece isn’t just nostalgic—it’s elegiac. A witness to boyhood’s gentle retreat and manhood’s silent arrival.
