10 Drawings
These drawings continue an ongoing exploration of perception, emotional circuitry, and the body as a site of internal dialogue. Interlocking hearts, eyes, and looping forms are compressed into a single field, creating a dense visual ecosystem where looking, feeling, and sensing are inseparable. The composition reads less as a fixed image than as a system in motion—parts folding into one another, overlapping, repeating, and resisting hierarchy.
The eye recurs as both witness and participant, embedded within the composition rather than positioned outside it. Here, seeing is not neutral; it is entangled with vulnerability, desire, and self-awareness. Hearts appear multiplied and transformed—at once anatomical, symbolic, and abstract—suggesting emotional states that are layered, contradictory, and continuous rather than singular or resolved. The looping, ribbon-like lines function as connective tissue, binding these symbols together while also evoking pathways: nervous systems, thought patterns, breath, and memory.
Color is used intuitively and insistently. Saturated hues and radiating lines pulse outward from circular forms, echoing mandalas or psychological diagrams without settling into symmetry or calm. Instead, the work embraces excess and accumulation, reflecting the lived experience of holding many emotions at once. The dark ground intensifies this sense of containment, as if the imagery is suspended within an interior space—protected, pressurized, and alive.
Building on earlier works that address repetition and anxiety, these works shift toward integration rather than fragmentation. The image does not seek clarity or resolution; instead, it honors complexity. It proposes that meaning emerges not through simplification, but through sustained attention to what overlaps, loops back, and refuses to be isolated. The drawing becomes both a record of internal experience and an invitation: to sit with multiplicity, to acknowledge the body’s intelligence, and to recognize perception itself as an active, emotional force.
