Dissociation

Dissociation, 2020
Acrylic on canvas
30 × 40 in. (76 × 102 cm)

In Dissociation, the artist explores the sensation of detachment in an overwhelming world. The painting presents a dense composition of interwoven figures and fragmented expressions, each seemingly caught between presence and absence. Faces blur into their surroundings, forms intertwine, and movement feels both urgent and uncertain. The structured chaos reflects the way we navigate shifts in identity, emotion, and reality, often feeling disconnected from ourselves and others.

Through this work, the artist captures the tension between being and feeling lost, where the boundaries of self and environment dissolve. The painting does not offer resolution but instead preserves the experience of drifting between clarity and distortion—a reminder of the mind’s ability to adapt, retreat, and redefine itself.
