In Lucid, the figure exists within a suspended psychological space between dreaming and wakefulness. The upward gaze, saturated palette, and tactile surface create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and unstable, as though memory itself is still forming.

Built through layers of oil, pastel, and Ekpe Papier Strata technique, the surface takes on a skin-like quality. Rising, folding, and holding traces of gesture and emotion. These physical layers becomes a material vessel for memory and the way it settles onto the body, becoming something felt as much as remembered.

Through vibrant blues, greens, and reds, the work explores introspection, emotional fragmentation, and the fleeting clarity that emerges within moments of stillness and self-awareness.
