Suspended Haze emerged from an exploration of iridescent copper, a warm underglow that kept revealing itself. My original intention was to veil most of it with neutrals, in keeping with the quieter palette found throughout Shifting Meridian. Instead, the surface revealed a hazy landscape that felt suspended between clarity and obscurity. It carried a kind of internal warmth that held its own sense of direction.

In this series, the meridian is the point that orients us even as everything shifts around it. In this piece, that orientation came through listening. Sometimes the work tells you when to stop, when a moment of atmosphere is enough. Suspended Haze is that moment.
