18” x 24” Acrylic, Charcoal, Oil Pastel, & Oil Stick 2024

“The Chaos Within” is a 2 part narrative of an overworked businessman, exhausted and attempting to rest however the moment he lays down to relax the thoughts begin swarming in. You can see the dark vortex of thoughts in his head that have been depicted through this window of abstraction. I wanted to juxtapose the darkness and chaos in the head with pleasant colors around, making it seem as if on the outside everything is all good, while on the inside there is pure chaos.
