This quadriptych against a warm grey background featuring “am,” “be,” “is,” and “do” in an off-white text offers a profound exploration of the human condition. The contrast between the muted background and the words draws viewers into a deep reflection on self-awareness and identity, as seen in “am,” broadening to the essence of existence with “be.” This visual and thematic transition encourages a contemplation of personal being and its harmony or contrast with the surrounding world.
As the narrative progresses to “is” and “do,” the focus shifts to the external—how we perceive reality and are perceived in turn, and how existence is actualized through action. This quadriptych serves not just as art but as a philosophical journey, inviting meditation on the multifaceted nature of living.
