Works inside the provenance

The works speak as one collection.

False Summit

A seated figure, back turned, shaved head bowed in meditation, hands resting in the lap in a loose mudra. A rust orange robe drapes over one shoulder in heavy, creased folds. Behind the figure a flat orange circle sits dead center against a deep blue sky, its edge perfectly smooth and unshaded. Far below, four slender white minarets...

Candied Cloud Waves

The moon hangs full and unbothered while whole planets fold into cloud, pink orbits stacked like something out of a dream logic that never asks permission. Below, a river splits stone canyons the color of wet slate, and flowers stand taller than the mountains that should dwarf them, stems glowing gold at the root like they are lit...

Starlight Labyrinth

Someone carved this labyrinth wide open just to let the bloodlight through. That crimson seam splitting the maze floor could be a wound or a road, and the twin moons hanging over those violet ridgelines don't care which. Every corridor doubles back on itself except the one that matters. You can feel the pull toward that thin red...

Floating Suns Corridor

The stairs are the only cool thing in a landscape running hot. Every step up costs something, and the orbs pooling at the base look less like decoration and more like what got left behind to climb. Dried blood pinks bleed into oxidized rust, black moons hang unlit and patient, and the towers narrow into a horizon that...

Celestial Water Steps

The bridge does not end so much as dissolve into atmosphere, each magenta plank a decision already made. Three moons hang like unfinished arguments over a horizon that forgot which direction is down. Clouds bank against black granite peaks in shades of oxidized rose and iron gray, and the path keeps going anyway, grid lines vanishing into a...

Cosmic Reflection Axis

Stairs the color of a bruised orchid climb out of total black, aimed at a slab of cerulean cut clean through snowbound peaks. Three planets hang like abandoned marbles, rose quartz and moss green against a sky bleeding tangerine into magenta. The scale is deliberately dishonest, floating platforms scattered below like debris from a stairwell that forgot gravity....

Rising Sphere Lattice

Someone built a plaza and forgot to tell gravity. Spheres hang mid air like held breath, one pocked with orange like a diseased planet, one dusted blue like frost on a golf ball nobody asked for. The pillars stand at attention, unequal heights, unequal purpose, while a staircase leads to nothing anyone can name. Cotton candy clouds drift...

Twin Planets Staircase

The staircase does not end so much as it surrenders, dissolving into a sky that has three moons and no mercy. Someone built this climb toward a planet the color of dried blood amber, bruised violet clouds trailing behind it like smoke from a fire already out. The blocky terraces on either side feel less like architecture and...

Floating Suns

Someone built a city where physics filed for exemption. Wireframe towers hold nothing up while felted planets hang in a dusk that shifts from ink blue to bruised salmon without asking permission. Coral moss climbs black plinths like it pays rent there. The pink platform steps forward, glossy and certain, as if inviting you to walk into a...

Celestial Alignment Peaks

Three planets hang like fruit picked off some other sky, and beneath them the mountain does not flinch. Carnations in dried blood red and marigold orange push up through a peach-colored ground that has no business existing under a black like that. White rain lines cut straight through everything, sun included, refusing to let scale make sense. It...

Synthetic Garden Prelude

Someone built an altar out of citrus and stairs and forgot to tell gravity. The fruit spheres scatter down the steps like they rolled there mid-ceremony, and that gradient moon hangs too close, too soft, bleeding chartreuse into peach like a planet caught blushing. Roses grow out of black steel slats that have no business supporting them. Nothing...

Haloed Distant World

Petals crowd the staircase like commissary reports nobody asked for, burnt orange and bruised magenta stacking toward a threshold with nowhere earthly to land. Two suns share the sky, one haloed in violet and citrus, the other a moon gone matte and unlit, watching. Behind them a crystalline skyline waits with the patience of tectonic drift. This garden...
