Scream (2021) is a release — raw, visceral, and necessary. Part of the Ephemeral Atmosphere Collection, this 48 x 48 inch acrylic painting captures the energy of an unspoken cry. A moment suspended between silence and sound, between containment and eruption.

The canvas pulses with vibrant streaks of crimson, deep purples, and jagged black lines. The brushwork is unfiltered — aggressive in parts, almost erased in others. There is no symmetry, no order. Just emotion, moving as quickly as it arrives. It’s not about violence. It’s about survival.

This work was created during a moment of personal rupture. It holds the kind of feeling you don’t plan — the kind that arrives in the body before the mind can name it. The painting itself became an act of catharsis, a place to let the pressure out.

Scream finds resonance with Jean-Michel Basquiat, not in style, but in spirit — the urgency to get it out, to leave a mark that is more feeling than form. Like Basquiat, I am not interested in polish here. I am interested in truth.

And the truth is: we all carry something loud inside us.

As part of the Ephemeral Atmosphere Collection, Scream marks a rupture in the visual flow. It’s a jolt. A break in the narrative. But it’s also a mirror — an invitation to honor the moments when emotion becomes too large for containment.
