Primalien
(2023)
Carved paper, mixed media on wood panel
40 x 30 in
Cracks in the Temple series

Primalien reaches the body before language.

Energy arrives as spark and activation.

The work refuses containment or finish.

Motion remains playful, feral, and immediate.

Freedom appears as kinetic disruption.

The viewer is asked to keep pace.
