This painting with rotating fragments weaves three distinct images into a single, evolving narrative, honoring materials left unused whether it be out of fear of ruining them or waiting for the perfect instance to use them.  The cheetah print and sparkly blue fabrics incorporated in the piece are materials I have held onto since childhood, overwhelmed by the forms they could artistically take-until now.  

The kinetic aspect of this piece draws inspiration from Jeff Lieberman, an MIT masters graduate in both mechanical engineering and media arts and sciences. His accessible, Kickstarter-backed artworks reveal the seamless fusion of engineering and artistic expression—an intersection that deeply resonates with me as an engineering and studio art student.

This piece transitions cyclically each hour slowly building anticipation for what may appear.  In the first painting, a child appears, gazing in wonder at the fabrics. Fifteen minutes later, a cheetah emerges—symbolizing the swift passage of time. A half-hour later, my older self takes form, adorned in those very fabrics. The piece straddles the line between abstraction and realism, continuously camouflaging the three scenes—echoing how In Due Time, perspective shifts, and what once felt too precious or uncertain finds its place.
