‘Tamashii no Kagami’, (mirror of the soul), 2025, Textured canvas on wood frame, handmade mineral pigments & acrylic

This atmospheric composition presents two contrasting fields of texture and light held in delicate tension, united by a single point of luminous gold and blue. The juncture functions as a quiet axis, an instant where opposing forces converge, and the flow of becoming briefly connects.
Layered mineral and acrylic pigments create a tactile depth that evokes memory, presence, and the embodied experience of looking. Philosophical influences, from process thought to Eastern concepts of impermanence, inform the work’s exploration of life, soul, and temporality.
The painting invites contemplation of how connection emerges amid flux, offering a momentary sense of unity within an ever-shifting landscape.
