This conceptual piece delves into the idea of cosmopolitanism, reflecting how we are all increasingly becoming global citizens. The ease of travel, global supply chains, and digital connectivity are diminishing the significance of physical borders in every sense.

As these borders blur and urban expansion stretches beyond cities and towns, it seems that urbanization and the dissolution of boundaries are not only reshaping our environments but also engulfing us—the people and cultures that form the heart of our communities. In a fast-paced world where we constantly cross borders, it's worth considering our personal boundaries and what we choose to let in. After all, these boundaries are central to our humanity. Perhaps, some borders are meant to remain.

The shapes within this piece evoke urban development, where land divisions, mapping, and architecture encroach upon all landscapes, not only erasing natural habitats but also invading our inner borders—our minds, bodies, and souls.

The artwork remains intentionally unstretched, allowing it to hang organically without constraints or perfect flatness, granting both the work and the viewer a sense of freedom. Some painted sections blur into a harmonious mix of colors, offering a visual respite from the relentless encroachment of urbanization. These areas remind us that there are still untouched havens on Earth where urban development is distant, and where people and culture thrive in harmony with nature.

As with much of my work, the final process involves carefully placing symbols that intersect cultures, objects, and moments in time. These clusters are my way of searching for balance—within the piece and within myself—amidst a chaotic world. It becomes a visual prayer, distilling complexity into a hopeful narrative of harmony and connection.In this piece, the symbols are arranged into pathways, guiding you to wherever you need to go.
