Summer is coming!

🏖️ Summer is coming.

At first glance, just a pair of socks. But look closer…

The white stripes distort the shape of my feet, bending perception like ripples on water 🌊. The yellow heel acts as a grounding point—a sandy anchor in this mini landscape ⛱️.

The scattered beach gear suggests someone was here… perhaps they’re off grabbing another 🍸 Old Fashioned?

Now, the dolphins 🐬🐬… I like that there are two; that way, they keep each other company. That being said, the way they look at me 👀 makes me think they’re planning something.

About the Patience Series

Patience explores stillness, solitude, and mindfulness in contemporary urban life. By pixelating the faces of its subjects, the series invites viewers to project their own interpretations, shifting the focus from identity to presence. Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, these paintings capture fleeting moments of quiet reflection in everyday settings, encouraging an acceptance of impermanence and the present moment.

Beyond the subjects themselves, Patience also reflects on the act of viewing. In an age of fleeting attention, the three-dimensional nature of these works challenges the audience to slow down and engage from multiple perspectives. As the painting subtly transforms with the viewer’s position, it invites a prolonged interaction—testing and cultivating the very patience it portrays
