In my paintings, I explore the concept of windows as metaphors. Windows, whether open or closed, represent dualities: freedom vs. constraint, order vs. chaos, and possibility vs. limitation. For me, the window metaphor sets up narrative elements that address boundaries. In some cases, the viewer is outside, looking in. Conversely, the perspective may be from indoors, looking up and out into the horizon. Some paintings are rooted in fantasy, while others are actual depictions of light-filled rooms, with curtains billowing in the breeze. The layered meanings within each picture plane keeps viewers guessing, projecting their own narratives onto each scene. In my work, the window creates the illusion of depth, whether with pure color or with linear perspective. Regardless of my technique and intention, the window metaphor is open to interpretation.
