Euphoria is an early body of work that examines emotional intensity as a destabilizing force, focusing on states of vulnerability, unease, and heightened perception. The paintings explore moments where intimacy and discomfort coexist, and where emotional extremes blur distinctions between care and harm, pleasure and pain.
Figures appear suspended in psychologically charged spaces, rendered with a combination of realism and distortion that resists narrative resolution. Rather than illustrating specific experiences, the work lingers in ambiguity, allowing contradictions—such as tenderness and anxiety, attraction and repulsion—to remain unresolved.
Ethical and spiritual questions underlie the series without being explicitly stated. References to morality, suffering, and transcendence emerge indirectly through bodily tension and compositional instability. Euphoria does not seek clarity or catharsis, but instead attends to the fragile boundary between opposing states when felt with intensity.
