Description:
“Human Engineering (to Breathe Fire)” is a hand-forged meditation on volatility and transformation. Executed entirely by hand, the work reveals a layered interplay of oil pastel, acrylic, and marker — each medium asserting its own texture while yielding to the next. The stratified surface carries the record of a process both deliberate and instinctive, where successive gestures create a palimpsest of thought and emotion.
Dominated by a spectrum of reds, the composition evokes combustion, vitality, and the precarious balance between construction and rupture. The title underscores this tension: the human drive to impose structure upon chaos, and the equally human impulse toward ignition and release. By refusing a singular reading, the painting invites the viewer into an open encounter with intensity, where the raw layering of media becomes a mirror for the layered condition of being.
