Before It Was Named refers to an emotional state that exists prior to language and definition. The painting captures a moment in which feeling has not yet been named raw, intuitive, and open. Through gesture and layers of color, the work creates a space where emotion is experienced rather than explained.
The painting invites attentiveness and a return to a more immediate form of perception. Meaning is not imposed but emerges through the encounter between the artwork and the viewer, remaining personal and fluid.
