“Constructing Reality” explores the intersection of structure and spontaneity, where rigid geometric forms meet fluid, atmospheric textures. The composition is a dynamic interplay of layered elements—bold architectural shapes, gestural linework, and bursts of vibrant color—suggesting movement, transformation, and the constant evolution of space.

Hints of industrial design, with overlapping grids and box-like structures, appear to be in the midst of assembly or deconstruction, evoking a sense of progress and adaptation. The background, a dreamy blend of blues, yellows, and neutrals, introduces an airy, open-ended quality, allowing the viewer’s eye to navigate freely through the layered imagery. Graffiti-like markings and spray-painted stencils add an urban energy, reinforcing the dialogue between order and creative expression.

By merging architectural motifs with expressive abstraction, “Constructing Reality” invites reflection on how spaces—both physical and conceptual—are continuously shaped, reshaped, and reimagined through art, design, and human experience.
