Description:

Front Facing, in Baseball Cap is a portrait built from heat and restraint - an exploration of identity through the language of red. Saturated tones pulse beneath sharp lines and layered textures, where oil and acrylic collide with marker and pen to form a surface alive with quiet intensity. The reds evoke both warmth and confrontation, a tension between presence and protection. The baseball cap and direct gaze anchor the composition, grounding the emotional energy in stillness. The result is a meditation on self-presentation - how we reveal, conceal, and compose ourselves in color.
