It begins as a corridor of color, but it doesn’t stay still. Red hums first—warm, advancing, insistent—then yields to yellow, which flickers like a memory trying to surface. Blue hovers above, cool and distant, yet somehow pulling everything toward it. The eye steps forward, but the painting steps back. Depth is not painted here; it is perceived, negotiated, constructed in real time.

Each line is a threshold. As the viewer moves, the colors shift roles—what was background becomes foreground, what felt solid dissolves into vibration. The mind tries to anchor itself, but light refuses obedience. It bends perception, creating a quiet tension between what is seen and what is known.

In this space, color is not surface—it is light performing. It pulses, recedes, returns. The geometry becomes a rhythm, and the rhythm becomes a sensation: a subtle vertigo, a gentle awakening. You are not looking at the painting. You are inside its light, where perception itself becomes the subject.
