This oil painting serves as a portal—a doorway to the unknown that holds the chaos of my inner life. Rather than depicting a scene, the canvas operates as a threshold where competing pressures coexist.
Overlapping forces shape this work: politics, family life, drug abuse, responsibility, abandonment, and fatherhood. Labor, clutter, and mental overload all accumulate as tensions. These issues are not resolved; they accumulate. Painting serves as a structure to contain them, not to explain them.
Color is both perceptual and psychological. Cyan and red serve as competing filters. The image splits and vibrates as you view it through the 3D glasses. The painting vibrates between clarity and distortion, organic and mechanical. It reflects a mind navigating systems that demand control, yet remain unstable.
This painting is not a window—it is a door. It invites confrontation, not escape.
