The Self · Orbit · Release

The final work in CORPUS moves beyond the language of the body and into the idea of the self as something fluid, expansive, and constantly in motion.

Set within a circular format suggestive of a planet, a cell, a lens, or a Petri dish, APHELION captures an explosive convergence of colour and movement suspended against a dark atmospheric field. Streams of turquoise, gold, crimson, pearl, and deep green collide and disperse across the surface like cosmic matter, liquid memory, or emotional energy unfolding in real time.

Unlike the structured symbolism of the earlier works in the series, this composition resists containment. Resin preserves the painting in a state of perpetual transformation — as though a moment of becoming has been frozen mid-motion. The circular form further reinforces ideas of orbit, recurrence, and self-reflection.

Named after the point in a planet’s orbit farthest from the sun, APHELION reflects a state of distance and individuation: the moment one moves beyond inherited systems, emotional conditioning, and fixed identities to encounter the self more fully.

Here, the visual language of the entire series converges — not as fragmentation, but as integration.

Balancing fluid abstraction with material depth, the work functions simultaneously as a contemporary painting, an atmospheric object, and a meditation on transformation itself.

"After the body and mind are understood, what remains is simply the self in motion."
