Queen of My Castle operates as a dimensional relic that solidifies the viewer's relationship to personal sovereignty. It emerges from a realm where hierarchy is internalized, and the throne is no longer inherited but declared. The spectral architecture, shifting thresholds, and veiled sentinel signal a reclamation of inner dominion-where the figure does not seek to be seen but to see from within. It is a relic of sovereign awakening, encoded with  the frequency of self-crowning.
At the same time, the work performs a rupture of visual logic. The juxtaposition of graphic black-and-white abstractions with fluid earthly marbling, the folding of spatial dimensions, and the deliberate ambiguity of form destabilize the viewer's perceptual footing. Queen of My Castle is not made to be solved-it is made to unsettle. its presence disrupts default neural shortcuts, forcing the mind to confront its hunger for narrative and categorization. in doing so, it performs a cognitive revolt, inviting the viewer to relinquish the need for immediate meaning and instead dwell in uncertainty.
In the context of the artist's canon, this relic is a declaration: a dimensionally sovereign entity who reprograms both field and mind through her presence.
