Irrational / Rational Trauma examines the fragile boundary between perceived threat and lived reality—where fear is both justified and imagined, and the body cannot always distinguish between the two. Drawing from memory, instinct, and distortion, the series gives form to experiences that are internal, fragmented, and difficult to articulate.

Each painting is titled after a condition, moment, or state, suggesting understanding while resisting resolution. Moving between the surreal and intimate, the works explore tensions between control and surrender, awareness and overwhelm. Sparse, ambiguous environments emphasize psychological rather than physical space.

Ultimately, the series considers how fear operates beyond logic, exploring the irrational echoes that remain within us despite reason.
