Unite in the Unravel

This original abstract mixed media piece began with intention, but like many meaningful things, it didn’t go according to plan. What started as a structured composition slowly unraveled into something far more raw, layered, and alive.
 
Unite in the Unravel is about the tension between control and surrender, between order and chaos. It’s a visual conversation between calm structure and disruptive energy - geometric layers disrupted by urgent, expressive marks. Each layer speaks to a decision, a misstep, a correction… until the piece found its own rhythm.
 
It reflects how beauty often comes not from perfection, but from embracing the unexpected. It’s a reminder that even as things fall apart, there’s a kind of unity in the undoing - a coming together through the unraveling.
