The series Look Deeper is not even about perceiving an image. These works operate as a state: viscous, slowed down, with their own rhythm of breathing. The rocking horse, a primal illusion of movement, becomes lodged in the body of time, turning into a mechanism of repetition.
Everything rises and falls at once: a bubble, a thought, a gesture, and back to the same point. Light does not come from outside; it seeps from within, like a residue of lived experience. And the longer you look, the clearer it becomes: this is not about depth, this is depth, and you are already inside it.
The Gift is a series of paintings about how we spend our lives searching for meaning somewhere outside ourselves, only to discover that this gift has always been hidden within. And if we look inward with honesty and without fear, all the questions and all the answers we’ve been chasing begin to reveal themselves.
