Sun Above, Storm Within, 2026
Acrylic, Oil Pastel on Unstretched Canvas
43.18 x 27.94 cm (17 x 11 in.)
A radiant sun hovers at the edge of a face that feels both grounded and unraveling, as if caught between clarity and emotional overflow. The bold blue field suggests depth—like sky or water—while the dripping black lines echo the weight of unspoken thoughts, quietly falling. Leaves rise from within the mind, symbols of growth and memory, rooted in experience yet reaching upward.
At the center, a circular pattern rests over the mouth, hinting at silenced stories or truths held beneath the surface. The vivid red lips contrast sharply alive, expressive, but restrained. Warm oranges cut through the composition like heat or urgency, tracing the contours of identity and feeling.
This piece explores the tension between light and heaviness, between what is shown to the world and what is carried internally. It speaks to resilience—the quiet act of continuing to grow, even while something inside is still dripping, still processing, still becoming.
