Protective Layers
Protective Layers invites a quiet reflection on the ways we shield and nurture ourselves. At the heart of the composition, a soft, peach-hued crescent shape embraces a smaller circular form, suggesting an inner core carefully guarded. Surrounding this center, swirling bands of blues, purples, and whites build outward in layered concentric movements, creating both a sense of protection and fluidity. The gradual shift from warm, gentle tones at the center to cooler, deeper shades at the edges draws the eye inward, emphasizing the artwork’s theme of vulnerability held within strength.
The textured outer layers add a tactile dimension that speaks to resilience—each brushstroke serves as a visual metaphor for the defenses we construct not to isolate but to preserve our most delicate truths. The smooth, flowing lines throughout the piece foster a calm energy, balancing motion with stillness, and inviting viewers to contemplate their own personal boundaries and the quiet power of self-preservation. This work stands as a testament to the complex, layered nature of human experience, reminding us that protection and openness can coexist in a delicate, ever-evolving harmony.
