Red Offering, 2024 — oil on canvas. A frontal bust-length figure with a pale, marbled green and bone-white face dissolving into rippling contours, set against a softly streaked ochre and sage ground; the shoulders and chest erupt into dense, vivid red impasto threaded with blue, white and earth tones.
