Materials: acrylic paint, calligraphy ink
Created during the early pandemic alongside Nothing to Lose but My Chains, this piece reflects a personal exploration of abstractionist painting during a time of uncertainty. The composition began with solid, straight, and perpendicular lines contrasted with softer, organic strokes of white, pink, and deep green. The piece came to life with the addition of loose, fluid forms painted in Chinese calligraphy ink, introducing a human element to the structured background. This painting symbolizes resilience and hope, capturing light amidst darkness during a challenging period for all of us.
