Original artwork 

A layered, expressive abstract where movement and mark making converge to suggest ascent, energy, and transformation. Built from a textured ground of muted greys and soft neutrals, the composition is disrupted by bold gestures, rhythmic lines, and flashes of vivid colour acid pinks, electric greens, and deep blacks. Ladder like forms and directional marks emerge and dissolve across the surface, hinting at pathways, steps, or fragments of structure without ever fully resolving. Drips, scratches, and raw applications of spray paint bring immediacy and edge, while softer blended areas create space for the eye to rest. Balancing chaos with intention, the piece evokes a sense of upward movement both physical and emotional capturing that in between moment of striving, searching, and becoming.
