COLLISION II began with the desire to return to a gesture without repeating it. After the first COLLISION, I wanted to discover what another encounter between my body, the paint and the canvas might leave behind. The movement could be familiar. The result could never be the same.

I created this work through kicks, letting each impact spread the paint across the surface. I could choose where to strike, but I could never fully decide what would happen next. Colors met, overlapped and escaped the point of contact. Each movement left something for the next one to respond to.

Against the black background, the traces gather into a dense rhythm of yellow, green, turquoise and red. Some seem almost floral, as though something delicate had emerged from the force that created them. Beneath them, long drips carry the color downward, extending the gesture after my body had already moved away.

That relationship interests me: a sudden impact can leave behind something that feels unexpectedly gentle. Looking at COLLISION II, I can still recognize the physical energy of its creation, but I also find moments of stillness within it. The painting holds both.

Before I had even decided how to introduce it to the world, the collector of the first COLLISION wanted it in his collection. Knowing that these two works would remain together gave this second chapter a meaning I could not have planned. Born from separate moments, they will continue their story in the same home.
