Original artwork description:

The grass is always greener the other side
Blob series

It’s in movement that you can find stillness and vice versa.
In the process of the blob series, I observe data and chose a small piece that can be translated into a movement.
Each time the shape, like a glyph is very minimal, and I extend it to a larger scale.
I start by drawing on paper, extracting the shape, then finding a piece of wood that can fit.
Sourcing materials takes time but brings a new perspective to the process.

Once the wood is painted with primer, I start tracing circles, and the grid and place the glyph.
Then comes the cutting part, hand jigsaw, and sanding.
About colors, each harmony is created to fit the shape and add dimension, eventually an optical illusion of the concept.
On this one, I was thinking about the paradox of the land, also the colors related to it.
As the quote says " the grass is always greener the other side", what if the negative of the shape, the cutout would be the most interesting.
We often forget to appreciate the physical enjoyment to stand where we stand, the surrounding, the architecture, the fact to belong somewhere.
I created a color palette with colored grey, cool tones with yellow and greens.
Thinking about the different shadows in the park, around and reducing it to range of colors, as an anecdote of outside
each moment becomes an abstract landscape you can appreciate wherever you are.
