Static Silence

Predominantly rendered in monochromatic tones, this composition centers on two hands reaching toward each other in desperate connection—fingers extended, palms open, contact imminent or perhaps forever suspended in the moment before touch. Surrounding this gesture, fragments of sculptural faces emerge from shadowed layers, classical statuary witnessing human tenderness. Purple and blue undertones whisper beneath the grayscale like bruises beneath skin. The collage layers suggest palimpsest, each piece of paper another failed attempt at connection, another witness to longing. Texture creates actual dimension where hands nearly meet, as if they're reaching through the canvas surface itself, trying to break through the barrier between artwork and viewer, between memory and present, between ghost and flesh.
