Description: The black figure stands as a symbol of people like you and me—a quiet emblem woven into a series of figures I craft to empower the overlooked, the everyday warriors. The mess swirling around it? That's the relentless movement of everything in our world, a chaotic whirl that dissolves old separations, binding us all in its inexorable flow. Those three dots in the bottom right corner bear my signature, a deliberate ellipsis hinting at the endless continuation, the perpetual birthing of new pieces from the void. "Bound by my mind" whispers a subtle truth: an invitation to grow comfortable with all that is—to embrace the tangle—until I transcend this aching body, ascending into absolute abundance.
