Description:   In this triptych, water functions as a symbolic element drawn from recurring dreams, reflecting states of inner tension and emotional unease. The distant horizon line introduces a sense of the unknown, while the architectural forms suggest a fragile attempt to impose order on shifting psychological terrain. Created during the pandemic, the work captures a universal experience of uncertainty and vulnerability—conditions that continue to resonate today. Through restrained forms and subtle chromatic transitions, the triptych invites contemplation of fear, instability, and the delicate structures we build to navigate change.
