What’s going On?, 2022
Acrylic on canvas
20 x 30 in. (51 x 76 cm)
A mind unraveling, a moment suspended in thought—What's Going On? captures the experience of zoning out, drifting away from the present into a tangled web of contemplation. The figure's wide, electric eyes seem to search for clarity, yet the chaos of fragmented lines and neon bursts suggests a mind consumed by its own labyrinth of thoughts.
The bold contrast of deep blues against vibrant pinks, yellows, and white strokes creates a sense of movement, as if thoughts are colliding, morphing, and pulling in different directions. There is disorder, yet within it, a strange harmony—an intricate, layered system of ideas forming and dissolving in real time.
This piece does not seek resolution; rather, it embraces the beauty of getting lost in thought. What's Going On? invites the viewer to step inside the moment, to recognize the complexity of the mind’s wanderings, and to appreciate the richness hidden within the confusion.
