Rhythmic Canopy

Rhythmic Canopy explores the balance between chaos and harmony through layered
brushstrokes and flowing lines. Inspired by the fluidity and tension found in Miles Davis’s music,
the work unfolds like an improvised rhythm where colours merge, separate, and converse with
one another. The composition evokes light filtering through overlapping canopies, dynamic yet
serene, inviting viewers to reflect on how emotion, memory, and environment intertwine.
