Hamadryads: See as We Were
This piece bursts with energy, a vibrant exploration of memory and transformation. The dynamic range of colors—fiery oranges, deep blues, and rich greens—creates a rhythm that feels both expansive and intimate. Bold, larger-than-life forms stretch across the canvas, evoking a sense of movement, growth, and the fleeting nature of what once was.
"See as We Were" captures the essence of looking back while moving forward. The sweeping strokes and larger forms suggest the vividness of a memory trying to anchor itself amidst the chaos of time. There is a tension between clarity and abstraction, as if the colors and shapes are reaching to hold onto something just out of grasp.
Intuition played a key role in this work, allowing the process to ebb and flow like the memories it seeks to evoke. Each brushstroke and contour is a dialogue—between past and present, chaos and control—culminating in a piece that feels alive, dynamic, and profoundly human.
