Umber

Size | 30" x 40" 

A striking interplay of vulnerability and tension, this mixed media piece centers a female figure rendered in bold, expressive tones of red, black, and white. Her gaze, both intense and introspective, draws the viewer inward, creating an immediate emotional connection.

Surrounding her is an intricate web-like textile structure, delicately stretched and layered across the composition. The deep red threads evoke themes of entanglement, protection, and constraint, blurring the line between confinement and adornment. The contrast between the softness of the human form and the rigidity of the net introduces a dynamic dialogue between strength and fragility.

Through its layered textures and limited yet powerful color palette, the piece explores identity, perception, and the unseen forces that shape how we are held, seen, and defined.
