Ink on Canvas - SWTBT #7 - Original art by Melanie Circle

In SWTBT #7, Melanie Circle’s intuitive approach yields one of the most ethereal works in the series. A soft wash of mint, rose, and lemon veil what appears to be two quiet figures — one looking back, one gazing forward — or perhaps only the suggestion of such. The effect is like memory itself: shifting, layered, and barely graspable.

Her signature method — scribbles, journal fragments, water, pigment, rotation — creates space for forms to reveal themselves, not be imposed. Here, shapes seem to dissolve as soon as they are seen, as if protecting the mystery within.

As always, your story is the final brushstroke. What you see is yours to name.
