Untitled 1

This composition stages a quiet drama of containment and release, where a diamond of interlocking bands holds waves, steps, and shadowed voids like fragments of memory sealed behind glass. The palette—ochres, rust reds, and bruised blues—moves between warmth and restraint, suggesting a weathered intimacy that has survived time’s abrasion. In the lower register, the tender emergence of hands and a partial face disrupts the geometry’s authority, turning the lattice into both barrier and sanctuary, as if touch and breath are trying to re-enter a world made rigid by order. The work reads as an altar to human presence within systems—pattern against flesh—where intimacy persists by slipping through the seams of structure.
