My World
Floating in Ambiguity
Available · in the studio, Phoenix
The world when you stop insisting on its edges — atmospheric ambiguity as a form of honesty rather than failure.
My World (2020), from the Ephemeral Atmosphere Collection, is an exploration of personal space as a shifting, layered, and elusive landscape. This 72 x 60 inch acrylic on canvas features translucent layers of grays, blues, and soft pinks, creating a world both fragile and vast.
Forms float without clear borders, drifting into each other like overlapping memories or dreams. The painting resists resolution, leaving the viewer suspended in a space of ambiguity.
In this way, My World connects to the works of Julie Mehretu, whose layered abstractions map fractured, imagined geographies. Like Mehretu, I am interested in how spaces can hold multiple, conflicting narratives, how abstraction can evoke both place and feeling simultaneously.
My World is not a map of territory, but a map of emotion — a space where the viewer is invited to float, to drift, and to imagine.
Where to see it. In person at RituStudio, Phoenix, by appointment. Represented by Jarrow & Goodman, Los Angeles.
The space it needs
- Wall
- At least 8 ft wide
- Ceiling
- 9 ft or more
- Light
- Natural light transforms this work — morning and evening light read differently
- Daylight
- Cobalt and translucent gray hold steady by a window, while the gold-toned and soft pink passages catch warm light and lift in late afternoon. It rewards a room where the sun moves across it.
Lives best in
Living room 5/5
My World: Floating in Ambiguity earns its place above the main sofa, where the drifting translucent grays and soft pink dissolve into gold and cobalt across five feet of canvas, giving a living room the slow emotional weather a shared space needs.
Bedroom 4/5
The muted palette and mood score of 1 make this a rare large-scale work that does not press on a sleeper, the soft pink and muted white rising forward while the deeper cobalt recedes, producing a room that breathes.
