Untitled 8 (Divided Being)

Set within a tilted, diamond-shaped stage, two elongated, lizard-like bodies arc toward one another like mirror impulses—each offering a small flame of color that reads as both lure and language. The restrained palette of bruised blues and earth-stained browns, threaded with fine linework, turns the scene into a suspended ritual: a terrarium of desire, caution, and quiet negotiation. Behind them, the vacant chair—part throne, part witness—anchors a geometry of invisible boundaries, suggesting authority that is felt more than seen. In this measured tension between enclosure and intimacy, the work becomes an allegory of communion under surveillance, where tenderness survives as a delicate, almost secret exchange.
