All My (de)Vices
All My (de)Vices
At 30x48 inches, 'All my (de)vices' possesses a commanding verticality. It is an anchor piece designed to hold a wall with authority. While the vibrant reds and greens provide an immediate visual "pop," the deep blues and gold leaf offer a sense of meditative luxury that rewards the viewer upon closer inspection.
This is a piece about the evolution of the self. I'm perpetually exploring the concept of "g.o.d."—an acronym for Gaining One’s Definition (inspired by the track of the same name by rap icon Common featuring CeeLo Green, released in 1997 on the album One Day It'll All Make Sense) . The blue skin isn't just a color choice; it represents the transition from the "brown" of grounded humanity to the "celestial" potential of the night sky.
The figure holds a downward-turned flower—a subtle, sophisticated nod to owning one's personal vices with quiet honesty rather than performative display. It’s a conversation starter about the continuous journey of growth and the beauty of being "unfinished."
