Work Bruter (2020–2024) emerges from the COVID period and the disruption that followed. The title reflects the physical toll of illness and the pressure of systems imposed at scale, alongside the weight of sustaining a family during isolation. It also marks a shift away from external validation toward a self-defined practice, formed under conditions where audience and outcome were uncertain. The work functions as self-portraiture—not as image, but as condition: a body and mind moving through strain, confinement, and reactivation.
Built around the constraint of spray paint as the primary medium, the work forces it into controlled, physical mark-making with a material that resists precision. The surfaces remain in constant motion—marks collide, reroute, and refuse to settle—holding a continuous field of restless, physical energy.
