Chasm is a visual and emotional plunge into the soul’s depths. Bold graphic shapes pull you in, but it’s the two stark black lines that command attention, drawing the eye toward the heart of the piece.

It’s as if the piece itself is fracturing, revealing hidden layers within. The tension between these elements speaks to the fragile balance between holding together and breaking apart, inviting contemplation of the unseen landscapes within us.
