The Artist’s Intermission (The Music Room) is an intimate study of the creative pause — the quiet beat between spark and resolution. 
 
A miniature interior invites a lingering gaze: an empty frame hints at unfinished work; a trumpet rests on a gold pillow; a tuba and violin recline on a burgundy sofa; a music stand waits in the corner. A hand-designed necklace segment — amethyst, citrine, and freshwater pearls — coils around a golden column, adding warmth, movement, and lyrical balance to the composition. 
 
The room feels recently vacated, its stillness carrying the promise of return. It echoes the nonlinear rhythms of making, where ideas pause, pivot, and re-emerge. Though rooted in music, this contemporary narrative work speaks to anyone engaged in creative practice.
