Restricted (2021) is a black-ink painting depicting a distorted world map seemingly trapped within an intricate web. The familiar shapes of the continents are altered and fragmented, creating a sense that the world itself has become unstable and confined. The web surrounding and crossing the map suggests restriction, entanglement, and a loss of freedom, while the monochromatic black ink intensifies the work’s dark and unsettling atmosphere. Painted in 2021, the piece can be read as a reflection on a world increasingly shaped by invisible boundaries, systems, limitations, and forces that connect us while simultaneously keeping us confined.
