Description
Expansion — a circular expression of a swelling, suffocating emotion.
This piece captures that surreal, dreamlike moment when the world becomes too much. When we’re surrounded by objects, noise, consumption, and content — constantly more, more, more. It’s the emotional weight of a maximist, consumerist world pressing in from all sides.
In that moment, everything begins to float… not gently, but heavily. It’s overwhelming, like you’re trying to breathe underwater while the surface slips further away.
This painting is about that feeling — the internal expansion of anxiety, overstimulation, and fragmentation. I wanted to visually explore what happens when we’re no longer grounded, when we’ve consumed too much to even feel ourselves anymore.
It’s a slow unraveling of peace. A quiet panic. A soft scream.
And even in its beauty, there’s a tension that asks: At what point does abundance become a burden?
This isn’t just a painting. It’s a breath you forgot to take
