When Boys Become Men — Resin, oil, encaustic framed paint by Papayon

There comes a silent moment when joy fades, and laughter and silly behavior become mere memories.

The tire swing still hangs, motionless.

This piece speaks of the invisible feeling that lingers when we outgrow the places of our youth, led quietly by the force of time.

As boys become men, the swing remains in stillness — a witness to the silent departure from joy to responsibility.
