THE STORY
Sometimes we experience life from very close up.
We see our own part, our own story, our own perspective — and it can feel as though we are separate from the whole.
This work plays with that perspective.
A vertical line visually divides the piece, allowing the circle to be experienced as two separate parts: a small fragment on one side, and the larger form on the other.
But when we step back, another picture appears.
The two parts belong to the same circle.
What first appears separate was always part of the whole.
This piece is a reminder to step back, widen our perspective, and remember that we are part of something larger than ourselves.
THE COLOURS & TEXTURES
The smaller section of the circle is dark, muted and heavily textured. Its fragmented surface reflects the limited perspective we can experience when we are close to our own story — when things feel less clear and we see only a part.
The larger circle is painted in a soft, light lilac, surrounded by a clear, glossy white surface.
The lilac brings a sense of openness and calm, while the glossy white reflects light and creates a feeling of clarity and spaciousness.
Together, these surfaces express a shift in perspective: from seeing only a fragment to recognising the larger whole.
