About the Work
Tic Tac Tao explores the five elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Ether (defined as Space or Consciousness), as they manifest in the physical world. Inspired by Tibetan mandalas and the classic game of Tic Tac Toe, these paintings interpret the elements as singular entities, interrelated parts and elements existing in the human body and the universe.
