The story behind this piece

'Parallel Reflections,' showcases a monumental wooden cube containing intersecting scenes, each an exploration of surreal realities. The artwork's upper planes depict elongated figures and hybrid creatures traversing sunlit landscapes. A two-story structure at the center, sliced open to reveal its fragile interior, embodies an unstable equilibrium, as figures below engage in quiet discourse against a backdrop of distant architecture and drifting orbs.



The narrative invites contemplation of dichotomies between reality and reflection, questioning the nature of stability and control. It explores themes of parallel worlds and psychological introspection, symbolized through geometric structures and dreamlike vistas.



Viewers are drawn to reflect on their perceptions of reality versus their reflective counterparts, resonating particularly with collectors and introspective observers. The cube becomes a stage for lives never meant to fully converge.

About this artwork

Artwork Statement

This artwork presents a surreal, three-dimensional cube-like structure, rendered in warm, textured wood tones, against a dark, indeterminate background. Within this structure, two distinct, fantastical landscapes unfold. The left scene features a pale blue sky with floating, organic forms and a distant, luminous sphere, above a rolling, earthy terrain. Figures in draped garments populate this landscape, some near a multi-storied, open-sided building with internal figures, and others near a small boat. The right scene mirrors the sky and ground colors, showcasing a large, peach-colored orb floating amidst clouds, and a river winding through a landscape with architectural forms and trees. More draped figures are scattered across this side. The overall composition creates a sense of depth and an otherworldly, contemplative mood, with a rich palette of earthy browns, blues, and muted reds.

Interior Design Use

This piece would serve as a striking focal point in a contemporary or eclectic living room, study, or gallery space. Its surreal imagery and warm, earthy tones would introduce a contemplative and intriguing mood, sparking conversation and adding a unique artistic dimension to the environment.
