“The Elephant in the Room” confronts the tension between what is seen and what is suppressed. Layers of swirling lines, symbolic forms, and fragmented structures create a visual metaphor for the unspoken truths that occupy our shared spaces. The central mass, elusive yet unmistakable, represents that overwhelming presence we sense but rarely acknowledge.

Through a palette of verdant greens, ochres, and flashes of red, the painting balances vitality with discomfort. It invites the viewer to look closer, to recognize what lies just beneath awareness, a conversation that demands to be had, but remains suspended in silence.

A striking blend of abstraction and psychological depth, this work challenges us to face the things we pretend not to see.
