Threshold #M6

This artwork merges figuration and abstraction through painting and sculptural elements, drawing the viewer into a moment of dissolution and becoming. The soft, blurred visage at the center is partially obscured and entangled in a web of fibers, threads, and raw textures, suggesting both memory and erasure. The use of materials—canvas threads, fabric, resinous surfaces, and a three-dimensional handmade butterfly—creates a tactile rupture in the painted plane. These elements activate the work beyond visual language, inviting presence and reflection.

The butterfly, delicately perched yet embedded in chaos, becomes a quiet focal point—an emblem of connectivity and survival. Pink and black threads trail like veins or scars, mapping a process of unraveling and repair.

This is not a static image—it is a threshold. The painting transforms as one looks: shifting from beauty to fragmentation, from portrait to relic, from surface to wound. It invites the viewer to confront their own cycles of vulnerability, resilience, and change.

The Return

Into The Quiet Becoming

The earth listens and knows the weight of all that returns to it, not as loss, but as change. What rises again does so without noise. Here I wanted to paint the stillness behind transformation, where life does not end, but quietly rearranges itself.

The Silent Balance That Predates Such Divisions

Holding a knowledge as if drawn from the soil, the animals, and the winds that have passed through countless generations. In the stillness is a depth that unsettles and soothes, as though there is a view through human thought that is more elemental. Exposed but not judged. Recognized. There is a truth about what it means to be part of Earth, something we have always known but rarely dare to face.
