Surface Tension explores the charged space where movement meets resistance—where energy gathers, presses forward, and seems to hover just before breaking free.
Built through intense layers of texture, the composition brings together saturated cobalt and deep ocean blues with flashes of luminous yellow, soft coral, and black. The colors appear to push against one another, creating an animated surface filled with shifting boundaries, unexpected intersections, and visual friction. The pronounced texture catches light differently across the canvas, giving the work an almost constantly changing presence as the viewer moves around it.
The title references the invisible force that allows the surface of water to hold together despite the movement beneath it. Here, that idea becomes a metaphor for the tensions we carry—between control and release, strength and vulnerability, stillness and motion.
Bold yet tactile, Surface Tension invites both visual and sensory exploration. What initially appears chaotic gradually reveals its own rhythm, suggesting that beneath even the most turbulent surface, there can be connection, balance, and an underlying order.
