About the Artwork

Between Arrival and Becoming is an abstract narrative of journey, solitude, and quiet transformation. The composition hints at a human presence—small yet resolute—standing amid fragmented structures and shifting surroundings. Forms dissolve into texture, and architecture appears suggested rather than defined, creating a space that feels transitional and emotionally charged.

The palette moves between earthy greens, stark whites, and expressive reds and blues, evoking contrasts between stability and disruption, nature and habitation, memory and immediacy. Rough textures, scraped layers, and gestural marks suggest erosion and rebuilding, as if the environment itself carries the weight of time and lived experience.

The solitary figure becomes a metaphor rather than a subject—representing pause, reflection, or the moment of standing still before moving forward. The abstraction allows the viewer to interpret the scene through personal memory: a departure, a return, or an inner crossing.

This artwork does not define a destination. Instead, it dwells in the in-between—where identity reshapes itself, and meaning emerges quietly through presence rather than action.
