Open Wound – Original Watercolor (26 × 36 cm)
An original watercolor where the image no longer dissolves—it confronts. The red poppy stands fully present, its form sharper, more insistent against a softened background.
The contrast between fluid watercolor washes and the intensity of the red creates a tension that feels immediate. The flower is no longer distant or symbolic—it is exposed.
This work shifts from reflection to confrontation.
Open Wound
Vision
Open Wound continues the exploration of the poppy, but removes the distance.
Here, the symbol does not fade into memory. It remains visible, unavoidable. The red is no longer softened—it insists, it holds attention, it refuses to be aesthetic alone.
The same histories are present—war, dependency, repetition—but they are not filtered. They sit closer to the surface.
If the previous work asked a question, this one does something else.
It doesn’t let you look away.
