A Summer Deviation Within Round Dance
This summer, a new branch of paintings began to evolve from two of my series, Round Dance and Landscape. For now, I have kept these works within the Round Dance section.

Contemplation on "Round Dance in Tulips # 7"
The forms within the painting appear and disappear—a deliberate uncertainty I embrace. Whether arriving or fading, this non-fixity creates a sense of movement. This rawness and instability allow the imagery to exist in a vibrant flux, like music, shape-shifting and flowing.
