Untitled 7

In this heated, ember-toned composition, a cluster of lantern-like forms rises and overlaps, their geometric frames sketched in dark, decisive lines that both contain and agitate the glow within. The dominant reds and oranges behave less as color than as atmosphere—an enveloping haze that presses forward, collapsing depth so the scene feels simultaneously intimate and claustrophobic. Punctures of yellow light flicker like brief assurances of shelter, yet the surrounding pigment reads as smoke or memory, suggesting a city interior where warmth is hard-won and perpetually on the verge of being extinguished. The work becomes a meditation on refuge: how structure can promise safety while also revealing the fragility of what we call home.
