“I love you, with a touch of tragedy and quite madly.”
― Simone de Beauvoir, Letters to SartreAn 8×8 canvas integrating hand-applied gold leaf and embroidered threadwork. The layered grid structure, derived from the Circle of Fifths, maps a tension between order and emotional turbulence. The blurred figure in motion suggests memory or identity in flux, while the gold symbols attempt to impose meaning or rhythm. Red stitching cuts through the structure, marking rupture points where logic fails and feeling insists. This piece reflects the struggle to reconcile structure with instinct, charting an inner landscape shaped by both precision and chaos. Inspired by the DSM-5 criteria for borderline personality disorder, it explores the unstable sense of self, emotional intensity, and the push and pull between connection and abandonment that define the condition.
