Depth 2 (The Journey)

The composition stages a quiet confrontation between two monumental, mask-like presences, their ochres and rust reds pressed up against a pale, gridded field that reads like both tiled wall and measured memory. Veins of dark, rootlike linework run through the center as if an inner landscape—scarred, mapped, and sedimented—were pushing up through the surface, while small drifting marks above suggest messages dispersing before they can be held. Along the bottom, a frieze of white, gestural figures becomes a collective pulse, implying community and ritual beneath the heavier architectures of identity and place. The work holds tension between containment and permeability: hard edges and gridded order are continually breached by stain, scratch, and luminous outlines, letting vulnerability become the true structural element.
