Couple (The Gathering)

Two horned, hybrid bodies—part bull, part human—are locked in a mirrored proximity, their saturated magenta and midnight teal skins pressing against a pale void that reads like silence before a charge. The composition’s tight overlap and repeated contours create a tense choreography of intimacy and rivalry, where each figure seems to borrow weight and identity from the other. Flattened space and velvety, granular color turn the animals into totems, suggesting the dual forces within a single psyche: instinct and reason, dominance and dependence, endlessly trading masks.
