This series of small abstract works marks an intentional pivot toward a quieter, more distilled visual language within my practice. While abstraction has long been an undercurrent in my work, these pieces function as focused studies—experiments in form, rhythm, and restraint. Stripped of overt iconography and narrative references, they lean into the materiality of laser-cut acrylic and the tensions created through industrial hardware and layered color. These works are not departures but extensions—exploring how abstraction can hold emotional weight, cultural residue, and spatial complexity even in the absence of easily legible symbols. In a moment defined by noise and acceleration, this body of work explores stillness, nuance, and the poetics of reduction.

Untitled (Carafe) plays with the visual language of vessels—stacked curves and layered components suggest the outline of a container meant to hold, pour, or preserve. The title gestures toward a carafe, a form associated with serving, ritual, and the domestic, but here that function is abstracted into bold color and precise geometry. Swirls of red, blue, and violet within the circular and hexagonal inlays disrupt the otherwise clean palette, evoking liquid, pigment, or internal energy. The light blue bar bisecting the form hints at motion or constriction, like a belt or stopper. This work leans into the metaphor of containment—not as limitation, but as a prompt: what does it mean to hold, to channel, to offer?
