Number VI of XV
5.5 × 6
A Meditation on Happiness is a multi-piece body of work that traces the fleeting, layered nature of joy. Using oil and acrylic on paper, I return to the smiley face—a stand-in for feeling, a shorthand in the digital age, a ghost of communication. These works hold memory and presence at once, grounded in both immediacy and reflection. Acrylic moves quickly, drying like a memory; oil lingers, holding the weight of emotion. The result is a meditative tension between sincerity and surface. This series is not a definition, but an offering—a visual mantra that asks: what does it mean to seek and find Happiness?
