Still Water, Olive Leaf

A cupped hand holds still water, and on its surface rests a single olive leaf - weightless, unhurried. The image carries the quiet of a moment that asks nothing of you, only that you pause. Dimitris Iliou renders this in his signature monochrome watercolor style: one earthy hue built from transparent washes over white paper, the olive shade deepening and lifting like breath held and slowly released.
