exploring the sources of human fuel

Just as blood from the heart nourishes the body, motivations from the heart feed our minds. Everything we do is driven by underlying sources. These motives shape our character, and thus determine how we affect the world around us. So, no matter our opinions, the greater concern is what led us to them.

The works in this series offer various possibilities for this inner drive. A vein-like texture channels a myriad of colors to every part of the canvas, just as the notions of our core spread to every part of our lives.
