Selected Works features individual pieces that stand apart from any series, yet each carries its own story and emotional depth. These artworks offer a glimpse into unique moments of creativity and exploration, with every canvas telling a tale all its own.
"Inside the Bubble" reflects the unique worlds we each inhabit, shaped by our beliefs, experiences, and the invisible walls we build around us. This piece delves into the comfort and confinement of these personal spheres, where the familiar feels safe and the unfamiliar often threatens to disrupt our understanding. Each bubble is a closed system, constructed over a lifetime, gathering perspectives, solidifying values, and shutting out what doesn’t align.
Through abstract forms and subtle textures, the painting invites viewers to consider the challenge of coexisting with beliefs vastly different from their own. It poses questions about the nature of individuality and influence: Is it right to challenge another’s worldview? To break into a bubble that offers them stability, even if it seems limiting or misguided?
In this work, the bubble becomes both shield and prison—comforting yet restricting, protective but isolating. "Inside the Bubble" serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between preserving our individuality and opening ourselves to new perspectives. It suggests that while each bubble has its purpose, a glimpse beyond may reveal a richer, more complex world than we first imagined.
