Some moments do not arrive; they unfold...

In Awaiting, anticipation becomes a kind of stillness—neither pause nor conclusion, but a quiet turning toward what might be. The work hums with the calm before knowing, when time loosens its grip and presence deepens into awareness. It is less about what appears than what breathes between—waiting, gathering, remembering to exist.

Awaiting emerges from that same lineage of quiet anticipation—the moment before transformation. The piece holds the tension between light and shadow, echoing the chiaroscuro of Caravaggio and the elemental yearning of Turner. It speaks of the human condition—that eternal pause between what is and what might be.
Within art’s long meditation on waiting and light, Awaiting also gestures toward the luminous surrender of Turner, the quiet interiority of Morandi, and the chromatic contemplation of Rothko. Yet Jenani’s voice remains her own: emotion pared to essence, abstraction as empathy, patience rendered visible.

The work belongs to the same contemplative current as the trilogy of remembrance, resilience, and renewal. Here, Jenani turns from resonance to repose, tracing not the event, but the breath that follows. To await, in her lexicon, is not to linger; it is to live gently within the not-yet.
