Friction

$500.00

Let everything that's been planned come true. Let them believe. And let them have a laugh at their passions. Because what they call passion actually is not some emotional energy, but just the friction between their souls and the outside world.”

-Andrei Tarkovsky

8×8 canvas featuring hand-applied gold leaf and embroidered accents. The artwork draws from the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for major depressive episodes, blending photography and digital manipulation to express the emotional depth of the condition. Gold elements reference the Circle of Fifths, evoking a tonal structure that parallels the psychological themes explored.

The central image was taken during the 2025 supermoon and king tides along Florida’s coast, grounding the piece in a powerful moment of natural force and quiet upheaval.
