When I created the black and white, almost spiral composition in “Fixed Attitude”, I was deeply engaged in exploring the concept of mental entrapment. The spiral, with its tightly wound form, is meant to evoke the cycles of repetitive thoughts and rigid beliefs that we all experience at some point. As I worked on this piece, I found myself reflecting on how easily we can get caught in these loops, where our thinking becomes constrained by fixed attitudes. The stark contrast between black and white represents the rigidity of this mindset, where complex ideas are often reduced to simple, binary oppositions. The inward pull of the spiral was intentionally designed to draw the viewer in, mirroring the way these entrenched patterns of thought can trap us, making it difficult to break free.
