Oil on canvas, 15 × 30 inches
Metakinesis holds the body in continuous motion. The figure appears multiple times within the same frame, rising through its own movement. Transformation here occurs through the body as it moves through space, generated from within rather than imposed from above.
This painting is not about transcendence. It’s about change as a physical demand. The body stretches, twists, reaches—pulled upward by something not yet visible while remaining tethered to what it knows. The gestures register effort alongside release.
The figure is rendered without idealization. Flesh is weighted and present. Light moves unevenly across the body, gathering at the face and shoulder before dissolving into darker space. The surrounding atmosphere remains fluid and unsettled, while the body holds its form through tension and resistance.
What matters in this work is not the destination of the movement, but its persistence. The figure has not separated from itself. The motion is ongoing.
Metakinesis belongs to Metanoia, a body of work concerned with transformation as an embodied process. Change here is neither symbolic nor resolved. It unfolds through the body, moment by moment.
