All The Music We Cannot Hear VI

40.0 x 30.0 inches

"All the Music We Cannot Hear emerged in one of those unstoppable tidal flows of creativity that arrived between clinical sessions. These vibrant symphonies of fuchsia, crimson, and sunshine yellow dance across the canvas like sound waves made visible—frequencies beyond our ordinary perception yet somehow recognizable to the soul. The fluid interplay between these saturated hues creates visual harmonies that resonate at the threshold of synesthesia, where color becomes sound and sound transforms into pure feeling. The luminous yellow streaks act as melodic lines cutting through the rich chordal structures of magenta and scarlet, while the emerald edge suggests a harmonic resolution waiting just beyond our reach. I was thinking of those sounds that exist in realms we cannot access with our physical ears—the resonance of cellular communication, the vibration of thought forms, the subtle music of consciousness itself. In my work with patients, I've often sensed these invisible frequencies—the unspoken emotions, the wordless knowing, the deep currents of being that flow beneath the surface of conventional discourse. This painting invites viewers to attune themselves to what lies beyond ordinary perception, to lean into the spaces between notes, and to recognize that the most profound music often plays in silence. Like a visual equivalent of overtones, these colours blend and separate in ways that suggest harmonies existing simultaneously in multiple dimensions."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
