"The Essence of Freedom" 13/16

Each of the 16 canvases in this series captures a unique moment of something humanity has always sought to express: freedom. Inspired by the iconic sequence by Eadweard Muybridge, which for the first time unveiled the secrets of a horse's motion, this series not only pays homage to the technical pioneering of animation but also evokes a profound connection to the untamed spirit of nature.

A running horse is a universal symbol of freedom. When it gallops, there are no boundaries to contain it, no chains to hold it back. It embodies the purity of the present moment, the release from constraints, and the relentless pursuit of new horizons. By fragmenting this motion into 16 frames, each canvas becomes a window into this freedom, an invitation for the viewer to connect with the pulse of life and the raw power of the desire to be free.

The mixed technique—collage, spray paint, and acrylic—enhances this sense of energy and vitality. The texture of the collages evokes a connection to the earth, to the real. The spray paint, with its fluidity and unpredictability, captures the speed and cutting wind that accompanies the horse as it runs. Meanwhile, the layers of acrylic paint provide depth and emotion to the strokes, as if each canvas were alive and in constant motion.

These works are more than images; they are sensations. Each tells its own unique story, yet together they form a visual poem about freedom in its purest form. Owning one of these canvases means bringing a piece of this wild spirit into your home, a reminder that, like the horse, we all carry within us the desire to run free, untethered, boundless—simply being.
