Claustrophobic

This dense, dreamlike tableau gathers humans, beasts, and fragmented architectures into a single field of suspended urgency, where bodies overlap like half-remembered episodes from a collective psyche. A bruised palette of greys and earth tones is punctured by thin red tracings, suggesting both lifeline and wound, while the wavering line work keeps every figure in a state of becoming—present yet unstable. Space collapses into tiers and pockets, turning the scene into an emotional map rather than a literal place, as if ritual, displacement, and endurance are being rehearsed in the same breath. The work reads as a lament and a ledger: a procession of vulnerability rendered with quiet ferocity, where tenderness and threat coexist without resolution.
