What-if (2025)
Mixed Media: Wood, Oil, Glass, Resin,
What-if invites viewers into the fragile space where passion and risk converge. Constructed from wood, oil paint, resin, and fragments of broken glass salvaged from the artist’s own home window, the work becomes both a confession and a question.
The glass lip, suspended mid-act, symbolizes the delicate nature of intimacy — sharp, beautiful, and capable of wounding. Blood drops, individually cut and shaped by the artist, spill across the surface, pooling into a quiet suggestion of pain — an acknowledgment of the hurt this love will, and does, bring.
For the artist, a kiss is the most intimate act, a threshold moment that can open a world or break it apart. What-if does not offer reassurance — it holds us in the charged moment of surrender, asking if the risk of heartbreak is worth more than the safety of never trying.
