Inspired by the song You Can Think of Him by Ashley Singh, 3 Minutes 6 Seconds explores the fragile emotional space that exists between attachment and release - the quiet instability of trying to move forward whilst parts of yourself remain emotionally tethered to what has already been lost.

Created intuitively whilst listening to the track repeatedly, the work became less a direct interpretation of sound and more a physical response to conflicted thought, memory, longing, and emotional contradiction. Cooler blues and greens drift across the canvas before abruptly collapsing into warmer reds, pinks, and deep burgundy tones. The transition is intentionally sudden rather than softened - acting almost like an emotional rupture; the moment reality interrupts nostalgia and you realise time has continued moving whilst part of you quietly stayed behind.

Wandering lines, fragmented gestures, and layered interruptions move throughout the composition like unfinished conversations or thoughts left unresolved. Some marks seek connection whilst others retreat from it entirely, mirroring the emotional contradiction of wanting intimacy whilst still carrying the ghost of something unfinished beneath the surface. Throughout the work, abstraction becomes a language for emotional conflict - where comfort and guilt, closeness and distance, longing and avoidance are all allowed to exist simultaneously without needing resolution.

At the centre of the piece is the idea of reckless intimacy: two people attempting to find comfort within one another whilst internally occupied by memories of someone else. It reflects the strange emotional territory where affection becomes entangled with absence - where people attempt to love in order to forget, whilst quietly preserving the very thing they are trying to escape.

The elongated vertical composition reinforces a sense of duration and emotional progression, echoing both the physical length of the song and the lingering nature of unresolved feeling. Abstract marks drift like echoes or emotional residue across the surface; moments repeating, dissolving, then resurfacing again unexpectedly.

Rather than offering closure, 3 Minutes 6 Seconds allows emotional tension to remain suspended within the work itself. It becomes a portrait of emotional transition - documenting the quiet ache of recognising that although life continues moving forward externally, parts of us can remain psychologically paused within memories we never fully learned how to leave behind.
