The Mess We Bloom In
105 x 105 cm
Oil on canvas, box framed in white frame.
In The Mess We Bloom In, a group of figures gathers in a swirl of colour, conversation, and presence. The boundaries between bodies and objects dissolve, reflecting the way our lives bleed into one another — through laughter, exhaustion, confession, and distraction. This piece is a visual poem about the beauty that forms in the chaos of shared existence.
Everyone is together, but not always connected. Some lean in, some drift away. Some are mid-sentence, others lost in thought. Yet amidst the emotional noise, there is intimacy — not in perfection, but in presence.
Painted with molten edges and rhythmic warmth, this work reflects the layered nature of relationships: messy, noisy, beautiful, and necessary. It’s about the sacred ordinariness of being seen in a room full of feeling.
