Composition 11 (Woman and Fish)

A masked profile emerges from a field of cool, weathered blues and grays, as if the figure were being pieced together from fragments of sky and stone. The single, widened eye—ringed by shadow—anchors the composition with a quiet alarm, while the geometric veils of paint read like protective layers that also obscure, suggesting a psyche both guarded and exposed. A small, fish-like form hovering near the head introduces a surreal companion: part omen, part memory, drifting at the edge of thought. Through restrained color and deliberately broken planes, the work speaks of identity as collage—constructed, interrupted, and continuously negotiated.
