Eroding Reflections

This abstract painting uses layered golds and chalk-like textures to suggest the image of a mirror slowly breaking down over time. The once reflective surface is no longer clear, with areas of shine fading into worn, powdery surfaces that feel weathered and fragile.

Patches of gold hint at fragments of reflection still catching the light, while surrounding muted layers suggest erosion and loss. The surface feels unstable, as if the mirror is dissolving into material rather than image.

The composition focuses on transition and the beauty of decay, where reflection is no longer attainable but gradually disappears, revealing something unexpectedly beautiful and new.
