SECRETS, LIQUIDS & PEARLS
Mix media on canvas. 90 X 120 cms. 2024 Secrets, Liquids, and Pearls delves into the intricate layers of human consciousness, blending flowing, liquid forms with pearlescent shapes to symbolize the fluidity of thought and memory. These elements reflect the brain’s adaptability and its capacity to reshape neural pathways, a direct nod to neuroscience and the concept of neural plasticity. The liquid forms evoke the continuous stream of thoughts, ever-shifting and evolving, while the pearls represent moments of clarity—precious insights that rise to the surface from the depths of the subconscious. This piece captures the subtle, yet powerful interaction between emotion and cognition, where our deepest secrets reside. The pearls act as both a symbol of hidden knowledge and transformation, much like how the brain encodes experiences and adapts over time. The liquid quality of the forms is meant to suggest the ever-changing nature of perception, how sensations are intertwined with memory, constantly influencing our reality. In Secrets, Liquids, and Pearls, I wanted to explore not only the mind’s regenerative capacity but also the beauty and fragility found within the depths of consciousness, where secrets are stored and uncovered, revealing their essence with time.
