LIQUID ECHOES OF CHAOS
Mix media on canvas 90 X 120 cms 2024 Czong Institute for Contemporary Art, "Post Cards from Other Worlds" , SOLO EXHIBITION. In “ Liquid Echoes of Chaos” , I explore the tension between form and consciousness, weaving together surreal abstraction and the neuroscience of perception. The muted palette, with its glossy black droplets, creates an atmosphere that feels both unsettling and deeply reflective—a visual metaphor for the brain’s ability to navigate disorder. The towering, bone-like structures in the piece seem to oscillate between rigidity and fluidity, as if they're caught in a moment of transformation, frozen in the midst of becoming something both organic and otherworldly. At the center of it all is the blue eye, which I’ve positioned as a silent observer, suspended in a storm of visual stimuli. It reflects the way our minds are constantly processing sensory information, navigating between cognition and emotion. The black liquid shapes—alien yet strangely familiar—feel like representations of sensory overload, the mind’s struggle to make sense of chaotic impulses. For me, this is where neuroscience and art intersect: the constant battle between the logical mind and the emotional self, mirrored in the forms and textures of the piece. The sharp, almost skeletal shapes in *Liquid Echoes of Chaos* carry an architectural quality, yet they feel lifelike, hinting at fragility and transformation. The minimal use of color draws attention to texture and form, creating an intense psychological tension. I wanted to push the viewer to experience that same mental friction we face when processing complex emotions or overwhelming thoughts. The brain, in its beautifully adaptive way, pulls meaning from fragments of experience—and that's what I aim to evoke here: the fluidity of memory, sensation, and thought. In this piece, I also draw on the observer effect from quantum physics, where the act of observation alters reality. The viewer, much like the conscious mind, becomes an active participant in shaping what is seen. Just as our awareness influences our perception of the world, the observer effect suggests that consciousness itself can impact the material realm. The piece plays with this interaction, inviting the viewer to become aware of their role in creating meaning within the composition.
