It's Just Us

Acrylic, marker on gallery canvas.

36x36x1.50"

This piece feels intentionally simple on the surface, but it carries a layered, almost poetic tension between imagination and reality.

At first glance, it’s a childlike figure standing on top of a mountain, holding a balloon and looking through a long, colorful telescope. The style is naive—scribbled lines, flat colors, cut-paper shapes—which mimics how a child might draw the world. That innocence is important.

Overall, the piece reads like a quiet statement about how we experience reality through imagination. It’s not trying to be accurate—it’s trying to be felt.

You’ve got someone at a peak, but instead of celebrating, they’re still searching… still holding onto something light and intangible.
