Composition 4 (The Exchange)

This cubist-inflected tableau fractures three visages into interlocking planes, turning identity into architecture—built, dismantled, and rebuilt through color. The central lavender field reads like a psychological stage where warm reds and muted greens clash gently, suggesting both intimacy and dissonance in human exchange. One face dissolves into pale light while another is carved from near-black shadow, a deliberate polarity that speaks to visibility and otherness, to who is allowed to be seen and who is forced to become a silhouette. The crisp geometry acts as both barrier and bridge, implying that connection is always negotiated through the sharp edges of perception.
