A large-scale oil on canvas that explores the tension between surface and depth. The reflective motif suggests both literal and psychological mirroring. (See other works on page.)
Rooted in 1970s modernist figuration, the work balances abstraction with human presence, echoing contemporaneous explorations of perception and identity.
