About This Piece

A road runs straight, then bends — and once it bends, it carries you somewhere other than where you were headed. That single idea is the whole landscape.

Mine is full of curves, their lines crossing and recrossing into a perplexing structure half-buried in a thicket of undefined matter. Toothed mountains loom on the far horizon, deepening the mystery. There isn't a straight stretch anywhere; every road twists and turns, and where you go is left entirely to you.

That's why I painted it this way. A life is exactly this — no straight path through it, only bends that divert us, again and again, somewhere we didn't plan. The landscape is really a portrait of the human journey: a person inside the land, and the land shaped like a life.

An original drawing. Signed.
