"Missing Piece" is a stunning exploration of color, form, and texture, all converging to create a visually striking and thought-provoking composition. At 20x24 inches, this piece captures attention with its bold display of irregularly shaped patches in a spectrum of vibrant colors, including vivid reds, blues, greens, yellows, and pinks. Each hue seems to independently dance across the canvas, yet together, they form a harmonious and dynamic mosaic-like appearance.What sets "Missing Piece" apart is the unique process of outlining these colorful segments with thin white borders created using hot glue. This inventive technique not only adds a tactile element to the artwork but also emphasizes the distinction and vibrance of each individual patch. The hot glue borders provide a subtle yet effective structure, giving form to the seemingly sporadic yet intentionally organized composition.The spontaneity and lively interplay of colors suggest movement and creativity, inviting viewers to lose themselves in a world where order and chaos coalesce in perfect balance.

This creation features a captivating blend of hot glue and metallic acrylic paint, introducing a rich tapestry of textures and effects. At its core lies a mesmerizing pattern of concentric, irregular shapes in shades of blue, teal, and purple, bordered by jagged lines that suggest movement and energy. Surrounding this vibrant center are contrasting sections of swirling designs in green, purple, gold, and black, each contributing to the artwork's dynamic essence. The unique process of using hot glue as a medium allowed me to experiment with texture and form in innovative ways, adding depth and dimension.

I'm excited to unveil my latest creation, "Connected," a 20x24 canvas piece that takes abstract art to new heights by incorporating an innovative use of hot glue and metallic colors. This artwork is all about the vibrant interplay of hues and textures, highlighted by the addition of four 8x11 sized canvases that are glued to the larger 20x24 canvas, creating a striking two-dimensional effect. The blending of colors with metallic effects results in a vivid hue that dances across the canvas, further accentuated by silver painted highlights tracing through the composition, offering a dynamic presentation that invites viewers to engage in its visual dialogue.

"How can we understand why people believe in unrealistic escapes?
Many people yearn for a better life than the one they're currently experiencing. They seek solace in unhealthy coping mechanisms like excessive drinking, drug use, or unhealthy relationships. These behaviors offer a temporary escape from their problems, but they ultimately create more issues.
Reality is a necessary part of growth.
While it's tempting to avoid pain, it's crucial for personal development. Challenges help us build character, resilience, and understanding. Just as a bodybuilder needs stress to build muscle, the mind needs challenges to grow.
Focus on the present and embrace reality.
Instead of trying to escape from our problems, we should focus on dealing with them head-on. Every day presents opportunities for growth and learning. By making conscious decisions and facing challenges, we can develop our character and become stronger individuals.
God's plan for us includes challenges.
It's important to remember that God has a plan for our lives, and that plan often includes challenges. These challenges are meant to help us grow and become better people. By trusting in God and embracing the reality of our lives, we can find strength and purpose."
