Merican Stock Exchange
About this work
Painted entirely with the artist’s non-dominant hand, this work confronts American capitalism through a homeless figure, the looming Exchange, and a forest of dead trees. It asks what survives when ambition overshadows human need.

A bull’s skull, crowned with gold and rainbow feathers, holds the tension between mortality and transcendence. Its divided field and circle suggest cycles of strength, sacrifice, and renewal.

A representation of an inner self that many cannot describe, see, or understand, yet which persists within us. The work confronts the part of ourselves we resist acknowledging or connecting with.

Parallel lines work together to establish order and depth. Repetition creates structure, while subtle variations in their spacing and color introduce movement within that order.
