Entangled II 120 x 120 Oil on canvas 2026
In this work, I explore the relationship between the human being and that which is greater than the self, through the gaze as a means of searching, confronting, and attempting to draw closer.
The figures appear entangled with nature, as the boundaries between the body and the surrounding landscape begin to dissolve. This merging becomes an attempt to move beyond the limits of the self and approach something that exceeds individual existence.
This attempt is accompanied by a sense of awe and guilt, and by the tension between seeing and being seen. I explore a state of entanglement between the human and nature, between the inner and outer, and between what we see and what lies beyond.
