The Long Way Through imagines a landscape shaped more by feeling than geography. Rolling hills fold gently into one another, their surfaces animated by rhythmic lines that suggest wind, growth, and time. A pale path threads through the terrain, guiding the eye forward — not urgently, but with patience — toward distant mountains that sit quietly on the horizon.

The work is less about arrival than the act of moving through space. The road becomes a subtle metaphor for progress, choice, and persistence, while the softened forms of the land hold a sense of calm and continuity. There is no fixed destination, only the suggestion of one — a reminder that meaning often lies in the journey itself.

Painted with a restrained, harmonious palette, the piece invites slow looking. It asks the viewer to follow the line, breathe with the hills, and imagine their own passage through an open, unfolding landscape.
