The second piece in the Patience Series portrays a woman seated on a bench, seemingly in a park. Here, I explore how the human body conforms to the bench’s three-dimensional form, emphasising its natural adaptation to space. I also experiment with blurred backgrounds rather than sharp perspectives, creating a softer, more atmospheric composition.
About the Patience Series
Patience explores stillness, solitude, and mindfulness in contemporary urban life. By pixelating the faces of its subjects, the series invites viewers to project their interpretations, shifting the focus from identity to presence. Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, these paintings capture fleeting moments of quiet reflection in everyday settings, encouraging an acceptance of impermanence and the present moment.
Beyond the subjects themselves, Patience also reflects on the act of viewing. In an age of fleeting attention, the three-dimensional nature of these works challenges the audience to slow down and engage from multiple perspectives. As the painting subtly transforms with the viewer’s position, it invites a prolonged interaction—testing and cultivating the very patience it portrays
