mixed media – oil, acrylic, steel on canvas
An inner barrier manifests on the canvas,
a boundary that separates and restrains, yet at the same time crumbles.
The dense, textured paint pulses like a repressed emotion,
an energy trying to escape the limits imposed upon it.
The thin drips embody the attempt to cross
that invisible threshold, to transform constraint
into movement.
The metal pierces the surface, wounds it and stitches it back together,
imposing a dualism between oppression and freedom.
It is a limit, but also a tool for liberation: it twists,
breaks, becomes a passage.
The canvas is no longer just a support, but a battlefield
between what wants to remain inside and what longs to go
beyond.
To observe means to accept the conflict,
to recognize one’s own cage and to question
how strong, insurmountable, or real it truly is.
The possibility of seeing beyond is already an act of rebellion.
