This work stages a quiet procession of totemic forms—mask-like figures and architectural silhouettes—flattened into a ceremonial frieze where the city becomes a psyche. A heated palette of ochres, vermilions, and ember-orange compresses depth into bands, so light feels less like illumination than memory, radiating from within the shapes rather than falling upon them. Repeated arches and patterned borders read as both dwellings and thresholds, suggesting a life lived between shelter and exposure, intimacy and public ritual. The elliptical “eyes” hover in a calm, watchful ambiguity, turning the scene into a meditation on belonging—how places observe us even as we claim to inhabit them.
