Unboxe

This piece marks a turning point in my artistic journey — a quiet reflection on where I’ve been, and a step toward where I’m going.

This artwork captures the essence of transition — not loud or dramatic, but grounded in stillness and reflection. The lines are minimal, the palette restrained, the texture raw. It’s a departure from decoration and a movement toward meaning.

With this piece, I leave behind what no longer fits. I carry with me the tools, the memory, the discipline — but I step forward into a space of mature simplicity. A space where less speaks more.

This artwork marks a moment of transformation — a quiet yet intentional shift in my creative path.

The piece centers around a circular form, evoking a saw blade or a wheel — a symbol of motion, craftsmanship, and the hands-on process that has long defined my work. It speaks to the rhythm of making, to the labor and discipline behind each creation.

Behind it, the empty box lingers — open, unfilled, unclaimed. It represents everything I’ve already created: the structures, techniques, and artistic languages I once inhabited. But now, the box is unboxed — left behind with gratitude, not regret.

A sharp triangle on the right pierces the stillness. It signals direction, focus, and clarity — the emergence of a new voice, bolder and more refined. Together, these symbols create a quiet geometry of growth.

“Unboxed” is about stepping beyond what once contained me — beyond style, expectations, and comfort zones. It’s not a rejection of the past but a release. A moment where I pause, honor what shaped me, and move forward into a more distilled, intentional way of creating.

This is my progression. My transition. My unboxing.
