Inside Out (2021, New York) sets a fragmented face inside a loose, flowing frame, where thick contour lines behave like currents wrapping around the figure. A long, ribbon-like band runs through the composition, bending around boxed corners and carrying small framed eyes like signals traveling along a wire. In the center, the portrait is built from overlapping planes: a profile nose cuts across an eye, a tooth-like horizontal bar reads as a shut mouth or barrier, and stacked shapes beneath suggest a body reduced to parts, foot, hand, and ribbed textures.
The mood is quieter than the more aggressive, hard-edged works, but still crowded with watchfulness. Eyes appear at multiple scales, inside panels, along the border, and tucked into the lower band, as if attention keeps migrating to the periphery. The result feels like a mind trying to organize itself in motion: soft routes, sharp interruptions, and a face that keeps reforming as it is being looked at.
