Original artwork description:

This work grew from the idea that harmony is never neutral—it’s an active negotiation. The white bloom withdraws; the red one claims the light. The citrus adds a clean, decisive edge; the glass structures hold everything accountable. Each element brings its own energy, and none of them truly match. That mismatch is the point.

While painting, I felt the underlying question: how do different forces stay together without dominating each other? The composition became a study in coexistence—colour against restraint, fragility against clarity, presence against distance.

For collectors, the value lies in this tension. It mirrors the way relationships, teams, even families function: not perfectly aligned, but held together by a shared commitment to balance. The piece preserves that moment where difference becomes structure rather than conflict.
