From Above, 2022

14" x 17" Watercolor on Paper; unframed.

From Above shows a figure hurled or ascending through a storm of arrows, its body pierced yet unbroken, suspended between martyrdom and transcendence. A spinning propeller forms a halo suggesting sanctity, but the violence of the scene resists easy salvation. The image recalls fallen angels, doomed heroes, and souls judged mid-flight—caught between the earth’s cruelty and the sky’s indifference.
