Phases II

Intention & Symbolism
In the piece “Phases,” the repetition of silhouetted faces adorned in red, teal, ochre, and turquoise evokes shared identity, memory, and ancestral connection. The vivid ribbons that intertwine the faces symbolize dialogue, both silent and spoken, between generations and across space. The color contrasts and layered composition speak to complexity in unity, making the piece a meditation on collective spirit and fragmented wholeness.

Styling & Pairing Guide
This artwork pairs beautifully with bold, design-forward interiors or monochrome spaces that need a strong focal point. It harmonizes with dark walls, jewel-toned furnishings, or high-contrast minimalist rooms. Use linear or geometric decor and keep surrounding elements clean to let the rhythm of the color blocks shine.

Framing & Placement
A thin floating frame in matte black or brushed gold will emphasize the artwork’s crisp shapes. Ideal for a central wall in living rooms, studios, or stairwells, this piece works well vertically or horizontally. Give it breathing room, it commands space and deserves an uncluttered visual field.

Furniture & Materials
Complement with lacquered surfaces, smoked glass, or matte finishes in black or brass. Modernist furniture with structured silhouettes will mirror the angularity and repetition in the piece. Upholstery in deep teal, mustard, or crimson can echo the artwork’s palette without overwhelming the space.

Lighting
Accent lighting is key: use directional spotlights or LED track lights to sharpen contrast and highlight texture. Daylight will reveal its bold saturation, while warm indoor lighting will soften its intensity. Avoid overly diffused or cool lights that may dull the vibrancy of the colorwork.

Textiles & Decor
Incorporate graphic throw pillows or rugs in red, teal, or mustard. Choose decor with bold lines, threadlike elements, or sculptural wire forms to echo the looping connective strands in the piece. Touches of matte gold, in small decor or wall accents, will tie the visual story together.
