Group Dynamic is a series of paintings that explore how individuals navigate extreme environments—sometimes aided, sometimes hindered by the presence of others. Some figures are driven by discovery, others by the mission to rescue or recover what’s been lost. Power dynamics emerge as both a force for success and a path to collapse.

Clad in red garments designed for protection, the figures are visually unified. Their safety gear signals danger, yet also strips away individuality, reinforcing the identity of the group over the person. Some collaborate. Others fracture. Stragglers fall behind.

Each image captures a different outcome in a shared narrative: parallel possibilities within the same unfolding story.
