A Duality of Cause and Effect

In Karma, the artist navigates the intricate web of actions and their inevitable repercussions through a surreal composition of stark contrasts. Rendered in black ink with bold accents of electric blue, the piece evokes a haunting balance of creation and destruction.

The central structure rises like a skeletal bloom, its jagged forms intertwining as if caught in perpetual motion. The organic shapes, reminiscent of roots and tendrils, suggest growth, yet their sharp edges imply an undertone of harm or consequence. Above, the blue orbs hover like celestial witnesses, their ghostly glow offering a detached commentary on the chaos below. They appear almost tear-like, perhaps symbolizing regret or the emotional weight of karmic cycles.

The title, Karma, guides the viewer to consider the interplay of intention and outcome. The grounded, gnarled forms speak to the roots of actions, while the upward-reaching, fragmented extensions reflect their far-reaching effects—unpredictable yet inescapable. The absence of color beyond the blues and blacks heightens the starkness of the theme, emphasizing the binary nature of karma: cause and effect, light and dark, action and reaction.

The abstract elements leave interpretation fluid, encouraging viewers to project their own understanding of the concept. Is karma an impartial force, or does it carry an emotional residue? The piece seems to suggest both—a visceral depiction of a universal truth that is as unyielding as it is enigmatic.
