Pandora sits at the threshold between self and world — a figure dissolving into her surroundings as much as she emerges from them. This abstract, autumn-toned work explores change, uncertainty, and the moment just before becoming. The female form blends into sweeping foliage, blurring where she begins and nature ends, mirroring the myth’s tension between chaos and hope. Painted in vibrant, shifting colours, the piece embraces transformation as both unsettling and necessary. Pandora invites us to consider what opens when we surrender control — and what beauty rises from the unknown.
