Take Up Space emerged from a season of learning that shrinking does not create safety. Not in rooms. Not in conversations. Not within one’s own mind.
The composition holds tension and grounding at once, layered neutrals disrupted by assertive red forms, charcoal weight, and drawn lines that both divide and connect. Collage elements and gestural marks build a surface that feels worked, claimed, and unapologetically present.
Growth, here, does not look polished. It looks like presence.
It looks like allowing color, structure, and voice to occupy the full plane of the canvas.
Take Up Space invites the viewer into a quiet but steady assertion, that expansion is not aggression, and visibility is not excess. It is becoming.
