Lost Connection began with a simple interruption—a dropped signal and the calm voice saying: 'Lost connection.' It felt like the perfect title, capturing not just that moment but a broader sense of disconnection—technological, emotional, cultural, even spiritual. The piece is built from fragments—visual and conceptual remnants of past works that had lost their original purpose. Reassembled here, they create unexpected meaning, reflecting how we reshape memory, repurpose what’s broken, and find coherence in the discarded. Its forms—cuboids and crosses—suggest data packets but also human patterns: relationships, beliefs, habits, inner life. The spaces between them are intentional gaps—pauses, moments of breakdown—places where something has been lost but where something new might also emerge. Over time, the work has become personal, speaking to real absences: friendships ended, lives lost. These absences don’t leave true emptiness; they transform into changed presences—memory and grief as forms of quiet connection. Visually, the piece carries textures of wear and decay—familiar elements whose meaning has eroded. They function as echoes of clearer things, haunted but beautiful in their distortion. At a larger scale, the work reflects our media-saturated world, where information is no longer meant to inform but to divide and exploit. We are shaped by this distortion, disconnected from truth, nature, and self. Life feels increasingly out of balance—Koyaanisqatsi. Yet amid this entropy, something remains: the ghost of meaning, the persistence of memory, the possibility—however altered—of reconnection.

Somewhere to Land captures the moment just after upheaval—when the violence or pain of change has passed, and the remnants begin to descend. It’s the stillness that follows the storm, the quiet gravity that draws fragments down. Whether those fragments are physical—debris from a tornado, shrapnel from an explosion, radioactive dust—or abstract—memories, emotions, identities, money, purpose—they all follow the pull of time, and they all must eventually find somewhere to land. The painting speaks to that inevitability: the settling of chaos, the slow and certain reordering that follows disruption, as the universe reclaims its pieces.
