In Fisting
Democracy, a raised fist grips a lightning bolt, suspended against the bold
geometry of a divided backdrop. Opposite, the domed silhouette of a capitol
building stands firm yet graphic, rendered in the visual language of pop and
protest alike. The palette is unapologetically saturated—primary colors
colliding with comic-book clarity—while the composition stages a charged
encounter between power and institution. The work hums with confrontation,
capturing democracy not as a settled ideal, but as a force continually seized,
shaken, and redefined.
