About this work:
Embracing the delicate interplay between control and chaos, this piece reflects the core of my creative process. The blue tone — a fusion of polyester and oil dust from sanding another painting — was scattered unpredictably on one side, settling into the epoxy beyond my control. In contrast, a printed photo of luggage straps appears casually placed, yet precisely aligned. The wooden frame in the background provides stability, acting as a visual counterpoint to the fluid dynamics within the piece.
