State of Fragility #12

Fragility is an inherent aspect of being human, which becomes more apparent as we grow older and gain a deeper understanding of our own mortality. Contemplating our fragility can lead to a greater appreciation of the interconnectedness and impermanence of all things.

Life is a series of fleeting moments that make up our personal history and shape our experience of the world. Each moment is precious, saturated with emotion and intensity, and becomes a part of our memory.

My paintings explore these moments and their impermanence, inviting the viewer to live in the present and appreciate the beauty and complexity of life. Through the creative struggle in the painting process, I aim to evoke the struggles of life’s experience and capture the essence of these fleeting moments.
