This series extends my practice of psychogeographical mapping into the territory of deliberate disconnection and chosen autonomy. Here, the off-grid impulse becomes a way to map emotional experience. Dependency and freedom act as coordinates of lived experience: connection vs. disconnection system vs. self-sufficiency infrastructure vs. resourcefulness the grid vs. what lies beyond it Each composition reflects how we navigate the tension between the convenience of networked systems and the desire to step outside them entirely, to reclaim autonomy over the resources, rhythms, and relationships that define daily life.

These mixed media abstract paintings combine acrylic, color tape, yarn, LEGO bricks, and a used brush on stretched canvas diptych. Color tape establishes boundaries, zones of separation   from conventional infrastructure Yarn traces the interdependent, creative solutions   of self-sufficient living LEGO bricks introduce structure, the building blocks   of an independently constructed life An old brush embedded in the surface symbolizes   repurposing, renewal, and resourcefulness Together, these materials build a lived environment on canvas, layered, negotiated, and in constant motion between dependency and freedom.
