Acrylic on Canvas | 2025
Black rolled pants, bright yellow socks, a single Band-Aid leaking red, and a pair of classic black-and-white Vans already dripping neon green from the soles. The Band-Aid is small but honest — a quick fix over something that still bleeds. The zombie goo is the part that follows you even after you decide you’re not done yet, like the shoes have stepped in something that refuses to let go. The background is pure electric yellow, loud enough to make the damage look almost cheerful. Messy and unbothered, this one is about refusing to stop moving and was my first painting that I ever sold. This piece feels like streetwear meeting survival. Bright, almost playful, but carrying the quiet threat of someone who should have stayed down and didn’t. A reminder that some of us are still out here in the same shoes, same socks, same half-healed wounds, just choosing not to lie down. The drips don’t mean you’re finished. They just mean you left a trail.
