About this work

This painting shows a square inside a square. The outer frame is a dark teal color, while the next layer is a deep navy. Inside that, a light blue circle holds a white circle filled with tangled, black line drawings. The lines look like they’re scribbled or drawn quickly, forming shapes that don’t quite make sense as anything real. The way the colors fade from dark to light creates a sense of depth, even though there’s no clear subject. The lines in the center feel busy but controlled, like a puzzle without a solution.
