Excercising (Balancing Act: A Figurative Composition)

Suspended in a field of warm, parchment-like tone, the inverted figure reads as both body and inkblot—an emblem of human agency caught between flight and fall. The hard-edged, blue geometric planes beneath the hands introduce a manufactured “platform” that feels less like support than a ritual apparatus, sharpening the tension between tenderness and control. Dark, mirrored stains trail vertically like scorched afterimages, suggesting memory or impact, so the composition becomes a quiet meditation on how the self is duplicated, tested, and transformed in the act of letting go.
