Untitled 7 (Cobalt Divide)

This work stages an oceanic field of ultramarine where scraped and sweeping strokes behave like moving architecture, opening and closing passages of air. Triangular apertures of white read as prisms of light—moments of clarity that puncture the dense pigment—while the central vertical seam acts as both a rupture and a spine, holding the composition in tense equilibrium. The push-pull between saturated blue and exposed ground suggests a mind oscillating between immersion and emergence, as if the painting is recording the act of finding orientation inside an overwhelming, beautiful depth.
