It’s Not A Day Job (INADJ)

Dimension: 48 x 36 inches. Unstretched Canvas

Standing before this piece, I feel the weight of suffocation. The white bars stretch down like prison gates, locking the figure in a cage of expectations. Above, a storm of chaotic lines swirls and presses downward, a heavy cloud of ideology that eats away at the form beneath. The figure bends, fractured, its colors bleeding as if dissolving under the strain. There’s a sense of combustion waiting to happen of a man held so tightly by invisible rules that he can no longer breathe. It is disintegration in slow motion, a portrait of men trapped, unraveling, and on the verge of explosion.
