Gesture Through the Looking Glass

Caption:

Half-submerged in a black, liquid terrain, the figure reaches out from within a warped frame, palm open toward the lone crimson sphere suspended in the void. In the foreground, an out-of-place hand forms a casual thumbs-up—a jarring note in a scene otherwise drenched in tension and shadow. The floor ripples with viscous movement, as if the world itself is melting away, leaving only the fragile moment between offering and refusal.

 

Artist Process:

This work plays with surreal interruption, using the unexpected foreground gesture to disrupt the solemnity of the scene. The warped frame creates a visual threshold, marking the divide between the figure’s enclosed reality and the ambiguous outer space. Glossy, liquid-like textures dominate the palette, unifying figure, ground, and frame while allowing the bright red sphere to serve as the focal point. The composition’s depth is enhanced by the contrast between the intimate reach of the figure and the casual detachment of the foreground hand.
