"Socks off before meditation"

Socks off before meditation, inspired by its medium of oil on recycled plastic, creates relevance through minimalism in broad strokes and hints at eco-scarcity, whether through self-imposed privilege or forced. With angular fissures underlying a bellowing expanse of flora - futuristic both through shape and a design – these projections of controlled doses of convenient nature, colonized through the lens for LED screens, present a forgotten idea of being possibly lost in nature, where scenic trails may abruptly turn off by a voice activated command.
 
One can almost feel the pastoral vapours wave through lusty brushstrokes exhibiting a desire for this intimate connection that may no longer be; the vulnerable figure askance from centre breaks her meditative fourth wall longingly, as if to acknowledge a sense of hyper voyeurism in a bizarre supplication of awareness, hoping that her unnatural form may distance herself from both the augmentations of the curated bits of nature in her possession and a literal depression behind - while we may be ultimately alone, we are still alone together, connected through rainbows wisps a door away.
