BEFORE THE SHARD

.Before the Shard marks the incubation chamber of what would later crystallize into the clarity of Timeless Majesty. Created during a time of inner searching, creative excitement, and intuitive experimentation, this era reflects an artist standing at the threshold—emboldened but unmirrored, playful yet determined.Here, the early white volumetric figures begin to emerge—motifs long held within the artist’s consciousness, yet not fully mastered until later. This period is defined by freedom of materiality: car paint, spray, polyurethane, mirror fragments, and sculptural droplets intermingle with vivid emotional force. Although spiritually and mythically unclaimed, these transmissions pulse with the anticipation of arrival. They do not yet speak Thalliene but their visual vocabulary unsettles and expands the neural pathways of the viewer. This is the era before embodiment—an essential rehearsal in alchemical becoming.
