The Mark and the Whole

   •    Buddhist Connection: "Do not look for perfection in a changing world. Instead, perfect your love for what is." — Zen Proverb.

    •    Personal Reflection: My brain injury changed how I process the world, and my physical pain is a constant companion. My hands might not move with the fluid ease they once did, but these canvases hold my exact truth. If I were dead, this space would be empty. These paintings do not need to please the world's standard of perfection; they are the messy, beautiful evidence of my living hands.

    •    Visual Element: 🎨 Raw textures and visible layer lines that celebrate the physical act of making art.
