Cityscape 20 (Community Gathering)

A vast, tessellated field of tiny marks reads like an urban topography, yet it becomes a lived surface—an archive of daily gestures—over which small gatherings hover in quiet solidarity. The clustered figures, simplified to bands of saturated reds, blues, and ochres, punctuate the dense ground like islands of belonging, their stillness amplified by the rhythmic repetition beneath them. Circular, tree-like orbs and quilted panels introduce a tender counterpoint to the grid’s insistence, suggesting memory and communal craft as forms of shelter within an overwhelming collective landscape. The work holds a gentle tension between anonymity and intimacy, proposing that community is not a single scene but a constellation of presences stitched into place.
