If it bends / If it breaks (2024 WSU Recital, #2/8)
Original artwork, 22” x 30” mixed media on paper, unframed
The piece begins with careful, deliberate strokes, as I shape the bottom half of a sphere in gentle gradients, grounding myself in the process. It felt like a moment to pause—but the format pushed me toward risk. The sphere's calm precision was soon met with bold, sweeping gestures as I leaned into the thrill of the unknown. Each stroke layered more confidence onto the canvas, and what started as caution transformed into dynamic movement. The energy of taking risks was palpable, resonating with the audience and making this an unexpected favorite of the night.
