In this diptych, rupture extends far beyond the division between the two panels and begins to function as an internal condition embedded throughout the entire surface. The white space does not create openness or relief; it presses against the composition, while red eruptions of color appear like flashes of pain, memory, or emotional overheating. Dark masses of black, blue, and ochre compress the image from within, forcing the movement of forms into collisions, interruptions, and repeated returns. The eye continuously shifts between the two parts, yet the work denies any complete transition or resolution, making movement itself feel cyclical and predetermined.

The scar here is not presented as the trace of a finished trauma, but as a prolonged mode of existence shaped by inner pressure and separation. The two panels remain connected and isolated at the same time, reaching toward one another while preserving an uncrossable boundary between them. For me, the work is built around the experience of living inside this unresolved tension, where vulnerability gradually hardens into structure and space itself begins to behave like a psychological wound that cannot fully close.
