"First Contact" is a profound exploration of the journey from the unseen to the manifested, mirroring my own path from thought to creation. The womb, a symbol of the infinite void, represents the primordial darkness where all beginnings are conceived—an enigmatic space of pure potential. Within it, the fetus emerges as a vessel of untapped possibility, waiting for its moment of transformation. The mother stands as the vital conduit between the ethereal and the corporeal, offering life’s sustenance, connection, and rhythm. The veins and lines within the piece trace the pulse of creation itself, capturing that pivotal moment where the formless meets the formed, and where the first touch sparks the eternal dance of existence. Before any work is born into the physical world, it first resides in the mind's womb, nurtured by curiosity, excitement, and wonder. "First Contact" represents that delicate instant of nourishment, the moment before an idea begins its journey into form. It is the threshold between the abstract and the tangible—the first step of creation before it enters the physical realm.
