‘A System That Measures and Reduces the Value of Life’, 97x130cm/38x51in, oil & mixed media on canvas.
 
A System That Measures and Reduces the Value of Life is a searing indictment—an abstract, layered response to the mechanistic, extractive logic of dominant systems. With sharp contrasts, fragmented forms, and a palette that swings between sterile and explosive, this piece confronts the violence of quantification: how worth is calculated, commodified, and stripped of meaning.
 
Beneath the surface, traces of grief, resistance, and tenderness emerge—gesturing toward what remains unmeasurable, uncontainable.
 
This work asks: what have we lost in our obsession with control? And what might it mean to reclaim value on our own terms, in resonance with life rather than in opposition to it?
