Polite Fictions
36×36 in – Acrylic, Enamel and Spray Paint on Canvas
Dubes, 2025
Beneath every smile, a storm rehearses its lines.
Polite Fictions explores the fragile architecture of social harmony—the masks we wear, the half-truths we trade, and the quiet performances that keep our world from unraveling. The composition balances sharp contrasts and muted transparencies, evoking the tension between honesty and decorum.
Each layer was built through intentional restraint—color over color, gesture over silence—mirroring the way we bury raw emotion beneath carefully composed words. The fractured geometry and veiled brushwork reveal a dialogue between chaos and control, an aesthetic reflection of how civility often conceals truth.
This piece asks a disarming question:
How much of what we call “kindness” is really containment?
