Lost in Time
Lost in Time
B.H. Daniel
An enigmatic work that captures the essence of captivity in an urban space, where the visible and invisible barriers of the city mix with the desire to escape towards an ideal of freedom. The work radiates a latent, closed energy, where contorted shapes meet and confront each other, and frozen colors become witnesses to an internal battle between captivity and the dream of liberation.
The chromatic palette is equally intense and vibrant, with the predominance of cool tones of blue and violet, but now, these colors take on a melancholic, almost frightening depth, suggesting a state of restraint and impossibility of movement. The usually vibrant accents of red, yellow and pink are transformed into a play of illusory lights, appearing and disappearing, like unattainable dreams. These colors intertwine with deep shadows, having the effect of amplifying the feeling of psychological imprisonment of someone trapped in a city that seems impossible to leave.
The spontaneous and gestural lines, which in other works suggest rapid movement, here take on a depressing slowness, remaining stuck in the same shapes, like an uninterrupted cycle of capture. The imaginary contours seem to fall apart and rebuild themselves continuously, evoking a city in perpetual change, yet still. They suggest an illusory escape, a hope that there is a way out, even if this is only a fragile umbrella in the face of an uncompromising reality.
Lost in Time is a work that lives in contradiction. It is a visual prison, but also an endless fantasy about liberation, a dance between the impossibility of escape and the illusion that freedom could be just a step further, hidden in the urban chaos. A work that reflects urban spaces not only as a physical setting, but as a psychological system that chains and liberates at the same time.
