Unraveling is a quiet meditation on motion and meaning—told through a restrained visual language that invites contemplation. This 12-foot diptych, rendered in black and white acrylic, is less about what’s depicted and more about what’s suggested: a sense of unraveling that’s both internal and infinite.

Across the two panels, a thin white line begins its journey—delicate, unhurried—meandering across a dark, textured surface. Its subtle curves resist precision, like memory or breath. There’s rhythm in its uncertainty, a softness in the tension.

As the line travels across the composition, it draws us toward a vortex of gesture: a loose, layered cluster of white marks surrounding a single red circle. The red is a rupture—vivid, central, emotional. It interrupts the quietude with presence. Like a pulse. A question. A point of return.

This piece grew from a fascination with diptychs and the metaphor of threads—of things coming undone, or perhaps finally becoming clear. The format offers not just scale, but space: room for the viewer to engage, breathe, reflect. It invites the eye to wander and the mind to pause.

Unraveling isn’t about resolution. It’s about staying with the line as it drifts and loops and dissolves. It’s about presence in process. And about allowing something essential to emerge—not through control, but through quiet observation.

Follow the thread. Let it lead you.with the silence between the marks, and to discover what’s waiting at the center of the unraveling.
