Shiv 3 (Woman in Green)

A cool, meditative visage emerges from a field of nocturnal blues, its softened features hovering between icon and memory, as though the self is dissolving into atmosphere. Opposite, acidic yellows and taut black contours fracture the calm with calligraphic, almost musical symbols—suggesting the external world’s coded signals pressing against inner silence. The composition stages a quiet tension between contemplation and intrusion, where geometry and gesture negotiate a boundary that is emotional as much as spatial. In this meeting of serene mask and abstract notation, the work speaks to identity as a shifting threshold—part presence, part cipher.
