Breaking Through

Painted several months after No Colour, this series reflects a later stage of moving through loss — a moment when colour began returning to my world, not gently but with force. Where the earlier works were devoid of colour, these pieces move toward a fuller emotional spectrum. The palette shifts into expansiveness: hues that recognise both the turbulence and the possibility held within grief.

Here, colour becomes a language of learning and integration. The titles trace emerging clarity — not resolutions, but the first signs of a future coming into view. In allowing myself to feel the intensity of this stage, the work opened up, becoming more saturated, more spacious, and more alive.

No Colour

This series emerged at a moment when my world had abruptly shifted with my father’s unexpected passing. In that period, colour felt distant, almost unreachable. Turning to a monochromatic palette became a way of registering that early, internal landscape of grief: a suspended state where sensation was muted, yet emotions felt loud and silent at the same time.

The flowing structures carry titles oriented toward recovery, not as declarations but as distant markers — points on the horizon I wanted to move towards, long before it was possible.
