Boiling (2024)
Oil on Canvas, 10”x8”
Boiling turns an invisible state into something tangible — holding the unseen pressure of simmering anger and making it visible. The work explores the threshold between containment and eruption, focusing on what we suppress and what demands release.
Its soft coral and muted green palette, drawn from the colors of Mexico City, tempers the heat of its subject and lends the piece a dreamlike quality. This unexpected gentleness invites the viewer to sit with an emotion often dismissed or feared, reframing anger as something that can be held, softened, and transformed.
Through its restrained composition and quiet intensity, Boiling becomes a reflection on agency — on how even the most volatile emotions can be acknowledged, contained, and transmuted into a quiet kind of power.
Boiling is part of Echoes of Mexico, a collection inspired by the colors and atmosphere of Mexico City, reimagining inner states through surreal symbolism.
