This piece reads like a flag, not a nationhood- but of thought that refuses to pledge allegiance a single narrative. Its field is a loose grid of luminous colors that are fractured, interlaced, interrupted in harmony and discord. The central square operates like a sovereign territory within. The neon yellow bands that refuse to be silent coexist without assimilation. The painting honors the beauty of patterns that refuse to fully resolve, and is a declaration that complexity is not chaos but a different kind of order.
