At the Edge of Feeling.
This piece explores emotion at the point where it exceeds language. Embedded within the composition is a distorted face—hands pressed against it, mouth suspended somewhere between a scream, a gasp, and a soul singer’s final note. Inspired by the emotional register of 70s soul music, the figure carries the same raw vocal tension found in voices that fracture under longing.The composition moves through rhythm rather than structure. Forms stretch, collapse, and spiral into one another as sensation overtakes control. Circular gestures repeat across the surface like echoes—emotion returning in waves.At its core, the work examines the tension between restraint and release: the same suspended intensity felt in moments where the body can no longer contain sensation and must surrender to it completely. Pleasure and vulnerability become inseparable.

The embedded vinyl element functions as both object and memory, grounding the work in repetition, rhythm, and emotional residue. Thread traverses the canvas like exposed wiring, tracing connection, desire, and aftermath.What emerges is not simply passion, but emotional overflow—where grief, intimacy, ecstasy, and release briefly occupy the same breath.
