Urban Jungle (Cityscape in Distress)

This painting compresses the city into a restless palimpsest of facades, where buildings appear to surface and dissolve through veils of ash-grey light and granular texture. Vertical ochre and rust columns cut the composition like scorched pillars, suggesting both construction and erosion, while small red apertures read as flickering windows—brief intimacies within an otherwise anonymous mass. The interplay of white negative space and blackened silhouettes turns architecture into memory: a place simultaneously inhabited and haunted, suspended between resilience and collapse.
