"Worn Out & Still Puzzled" is an encaustic painting that speaks in layers. Freeform bas-relief shapes in orange, white and faded blues echo something once vibrant, now scuffed and grimy from years of existence. A textured element emerges from the painting’s surface, as if it’s growing, reclaiming, or perhaps unraveling. It disrupts the composition, a reminder that not all pieces find their place, not all questions find answers. The work invites the viewer to feel both the weight of time and the quiet urgency of something unresolved.
