I wanted the painting to look like a picture taken from a body camera, but not to trust it.

The image is too close, already moving. A body passes through the foreground. A figure raises her arms. The gesture must not resolve. It could be defense, alarm, refusal, or something the camera has already misread.

The pink mark came in like an interruption. Impact, signal, flare, something breaking through. It doesn’t sit inside the scene. It cuts across it.

There is the ordinary street: lawn, sidewalk, houses, a stop sign half-swallowed by the frame. A warning, but too late. The place has already changed. It has become evidence.

There is always more before the image, outside it, behind it. More fear, more force, more context than the frame can carry.

The painting offers what is seen, what is missed, and what refuses to be contained.
