Damien Arden is a failed artist who sells his work in the city's promenade market. From his stand, he can see the beach where a young dancer comes every afternoon to practice- for months now. The two have only communicated through their work, and hardly through speech. But one night after Damien meets with a fatal accident, there is only one painting that will save him, that only the dancer can recognise after months of observation.
A coming of age story about loss, friendship and the true beauty of two artists communicating in their own languages of passion which turns into a relationship with profundity.

Life is as intense as you allow it to be. Some people bring overwhelming joy; others leave wounds that never fully close.

This book contains poetry, short stories, and intimate reflections, written as an act of release, a way of forgiving without forgetting, of remembering without losing oneself. * Mostly fictional, inspired by real emotions and past experiences. 📌 https://pin.it/56l6eI7mQ
