The Weight of Becoming

Acrylic on stretched canvas, lacquer.

48x36x1.50"

This painting explores the raw, unpolished tension of personal transformation—of holding the shape of someone you’re not quite yet. Ancient Trypillian symbols emerge within the layers as the signs of eternal becoming, of birth, death, and renewal. These marks carry ancestral memory into the now, reminding us that becoming has always had weight. And yet, we do it anyway.
