This piece feels like a moment suspended between clarity and distortion — a mind caught mid-thought as reality begins to fragment.
Painted as part of my earlier glitch series, it explores the tension between inner stillness and external interference — the quiet intelligence of the animal disrupted by unseen forces.
Looking back, I now see this work as a precursor to my current macaque, Punch. The same contemplative presence is here — but in this piece, he is still untouched… before the noise, before the chaos, before the story unfolds.
