"At this time, my grandad and grandmother were living with his mother. He was still in the job he had started at seventeen during the Second World War, and together they were saving for their first home, navigating the quiet strain of everyday survival. The painting shows them sharing a drink with friends, but beneath the surface of conversation and laughter lies a haze of worry and uncertainty. Life felt suspended, caught between hope and the weight of what was to come, as if the world had tilted just enough to make reality feel unreal."
