"Panther" (2021) is a bold and tactile abstract work dominated by rich pinks, dusty rose, and soft coral tones. The surface is alive with layered textures and gestural marks that resemble scratches, scrapes, and smears—like the aftermath of an unseen struggle. White streaks and smudges sweep horizontally across the canvas, interrupting the warmth with ghostly energy, as though something beneath is trying to surface or escape. The artist's own struggle resides in this piece.
