Description: This painting explores how identity dissolves into something larger—whetherthrough destruction or transformation. The figure isn’t just surrounded by nature; she’s being
overtaken by it. Tree bark pushes through her skin, her limbs unravel into roots, blurring the line
between self and environment.
The brushwork is heavy and layered, with rough, almost sculptural strokes that create a sense of
both decay and growth. Deep reds and earthy browns ground the figure, while the background
moves between vibrant greens and muted blues, giving the impression of shifting, uncontrolled
movement—like the slow creep of vines or the pull of a current. The contrast between the solid,
warm tones of the body and the more fluid, changing background reflects the push and pull
between resisting and becoming part of the natural world
