"Kitchen Perception After the Bloom" is a reflection on disorientation, renewal, and the unfamiliar beauty that may rise from collapse. In this imagined aftermath, fragments of the ordinary-like the domestic comfort of a kitchen-become sacred architecture in a reassembled world, co-inhabited by life forms not entirely of this Earth. I wanted to portray a realm where the boundaries between memory and invention blur, where the familiar is re-seen through new eyes.

The interplay of black and white in this work speaks to the stark choices we face: between entropy and harmony, survival and destruction, presence and absence. These polarities serve as more than contrasts-they are the very language of the inner and outer conflicts shaping our future. Yet amidst the rupture, the painting gestures toward healing. It is not a narrative of loss alone, but of persistence and hybrid possibilities.

My process was guided by intuition and urgency. I embraced both control and chaos, letting forms emerge, dissolve, and return in surprising ways. The result, I hope, is a visual ecosystem-fragile yet resilient-where perception itself becomes a threshold. This work asks: What will remain, and what new visions will we be able to hold, after the bloom?
