Big Glow

36in x 48in acrylic gouache on canvas

A disembodied head moves toward Earth in a radiant glow, marking the moment after the nightmare, where comets once chipped away at the body. Now broken free, the figure becomes the comet itself, returning  to land signaling the conclusion of the narrative — a sudden wake-up call.

Two figures sit on a bench as the comet appears before them, pulling them out of the sleeper state. The moment exists between sky and the earth. Some would imagine a comet hitting earth as terrifying. I transforms the idea into awareness, and awakening becoming inevitable.








Drift off

36in x 48in acrylic gouache on canvas

Drift off celestial bodies floating in the are the reoccurring doppleganger figures in the water cyphering around the figure floating above. The water tide reaching high above the figures as they are wading in the water. or suspended and drifting in the air are those feeling of weightlessness. The open water and sky feel endless so including  the bridge keeps the image grounded connecting us back to reality. The figure drifting towards the bridge feeling of gives us sense of conclusion. I didn't decide whether the the figure above to coming down or up I leave that up to you.

“Paralysis”

24in x 30in acrylic gouache on canvas

I have a long history of sleep paralysis. Your body and mind feels like it out sync the sensation feels like your trap inside you body. To express this experience, I thought about anatomical diagrams that expose the internal structure  the body rendered both clinical and vulnerable  alongside imagery of coffins and alien abductions, symbols of suspension and loss of control.

A thorn and rose wrap around the ribcage, reflecting the dual nature of sleep as both comfort and discomfort. A cosmic presence, like a comet, presses against the still body, slowly chipping away at its stillness. The work exists in the tension between rest and fear, where surrender to sleep becomes both intimate and unsettling





Speed Run

Running through the walls like the feels like the fun. The rules don’t apply here once again logic doesn’t work in the dream state making the bodies distantly moving through the brick wall in cartoon distorted faces like warped city
