His Timeline, Part I: The Decision on Canvas
About the Artwork
His Timeline, Part I: A Visual Essay on the Loneliness Epidemic
Part I captures the moment where longing and illusion intertwine. The man reaches toward a woman suspended in a world that feels ethereal, idealised, almost dreamlike. The scene mirrors the language of classical frescoes, where touch is both invitation and impossibility. In this suspended gesture, you see the beginning of the pattern: the desire for connection built on imagining rather than knowing. The decision is not the reaching itself, but the belief that this moment will fill something hollow inside him.
At its core, this piece speaks to how loneliness begins long before relationships fail. He reaches for an idea, not a person, and in doing so repeats a choice that keeps him disconnected. The beauty of the scene lies in its tragedy, because the tenderness of the gesture hides the truth he cannot see yet: the distance is already there, and he is already choosing a kind of heartbreak. Part I marks the start of his timeline not with action, but with longing shaped by solitude.
