"Spiked Mechanism" 36" x 36" Acrylic on Canvas

Spiked Mechanism is an exploration of form and presence, where abstraction converges with the mechanical to embody tension and quiet power.

The work’s stark black and white geometry unfolds as a silhouette both familiar and elusive—a creature not born of flesh but of shadow and structure, caught between the organic and the engineered.

The spikes arching along its spine are not mere decoration; they assert a guarded strength, a quiet defiance that insists on recognition.

Within the composition’s orderly rectilinear shapes lie whispers of circuitry and control, the echo of thought made visible in precise, deliberate marks.

This piece grew from the intimacy of a doodle—a spontaneous act distilled into a statement about humanity’s uneasy dialogue with the machine. It is not the machine speaking; it is the human soul, in silhouette—fragile, resistant, and profoundly alive.

Creating it was a measured act of translating simplicity into something vast, a reminder that beneath every shape lies a story still unfolding.
