Untitled 2 (Reflections and Refractions)

This composition stages a quiet conversation between the corporeal and the constructed: a mask-like crimson figure looms at the left edge, its fractured contours and striated shadows suggesting identity as something worn, withheld, and performed. Against it, a turquoise window and a paper plane pierce the space with a childlike vector of escape, while the small white blossoms in a blue vase insist on tenderness as a deliberate act rather than a passive décor. The thick, tactile paint and scattered flecks of light read like nervous energy across the surface, turning the still life into a psychological interior where innocence, vigilance, and desire for departure coexist.
