Selected for XVI Florence Biennale, 2027. The face tilts back , not in collapse but in ignition. Colour erupts across the chest in burst-patterns that read as light becoming heat, the body a conductor rather than a container. Painted in blues, pinks and molten orange, the figure absorbs and radiates simultaneously:
the single orange hoop earring the one grounding detail in a composition that is otherwise on the verge of becoming pure energy. A solar flare is not destruction, it is excess, overflow, the star asserting itself beyond its own boundary.
