No Title (breaths and beats)
2005

An expressive, abstract painting featuring a dynamic composition of brush strokes in red, black, and grey hues that suggest the form of a heart amidst other organic shapes. At the bottom of the artwork, there is a handwritten quote that reads, "Breaths and beats, and their closely aligned purposes, are poetic measures of life."
