ABOUT THE WORK
Artwork Description
A mixed media collage on canvas where a lush, purple succulent embodies vibrant life. It rests beside a curated, black-and-white image of a curved zipper, abstracted from its origin to function as pure line and enigmatic depth. This piece presents a tactile riddle, juxtaposing organic softness with a man-made seam to question the boundaries between the organic and the constructed.

THE ARTIST'S VOICE
Interpretation / Story
Velvet Cipher reads as a study of organic forms and the living natural world, the human figure, identity, and emotional presence, surreal perception, luminosity, and altered states. The layered mixed-media surface turns image, texture, and material detail into a luminous and prismatic, organic and atmospheric atmosphere, inviting slow looking and a personal symbolic reading.
