The Point of Origin series began as an exploratory portraits collection, focusing on simple silhouettes and backgrounds. In the earliest works (up to 2021), you can see vague formations of what would become a more focused series. In the summer of 2023 the series began to embody its true essence with five new works: folk-art inspired paintings that combine minimalist silhouettes with intricate, colorful patterns inspired by traditional and sacred geometries from Greek, Celtic, and Islamic folk art. These pieces -- the true genesis of the Point of Origin series -- explore the relationship between order and chaos and the intersection of personal and universal experience. The body of work investigates the search for meaning through structure, using pattern and geometry as organizing principles.
