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 (Scale) centers on the idea of balance—both physical and metaphorical. The form is precise, almost symmetrical, with its dark navy and pale blue palette lending the object a kind of measured calm. But the addition of marbled acrylic, layered hexagons, and stacked triangles complicates that stillness, introducing textures that feel geological, planetary, or even judicial. The title Scale offers multiple entry points: a reference to justice, proportion, or perhaps the hard-to-measure forces of value and visibility. As with all the works in this series, abstraction becomes a means of calibration—testing not just how forms sit together, but how meaning is held and distributed within space.
