Season 1, 2022
Some parts of you have never been introduced.
Lost in Translation is a painting about the meeting. The moment you stop running from the version of yourself that lives in the dark and finally turn to face it. Not with fear. With curiosity. With the quiet recognition that the shadow is not your enemy. It is the part of you that has been waiting the longest to be seen.
The canvas is textured and dense, built up in layers of clay and paint that feel almost archaeological. As if something ancient is surfacing. Cobalt and turquoise tear through a warm, earthen ground like figures emerging from soil, reaching, dissolving, merging back. There is tension here but it is the tension of integration, not conflict. Two things becoming one thing. The dark and the luminous, inseparable.
This is not a painting that decorates. It confronts, gently and completely. It will ask something of anyone who stands in front of it long enough.
At 4 feet tall by 24 inches wide, Lost in Translation commands a room without demanding it. It is a presence. It belongs in a space where depth is welcome and beauty is allowed to be complicated.
