Mixed media self-portrait showing a Black man with one hand partially covering their face, fingers spread to reveal one eye while obscuring the other. He wears a geometric yellow beanie crown and blue garment with visible watch. Behind the figure, jagged orange and red shapes suggesting both autumn leaves and flames create a turbulent background. The work uses visible pencil and pastel strokes in an expressionist style, with asymmetrical features and intense gaze conveying emotional complexity. Part of the Emotional Angularism movement using geometric constraint to map internal states.

The Burning Time, 2025. Emotional Angularism study where autumn performs its annual fury. When natural cycles mirror internal combustion—leaves as flames, crowns as burden, vision fractured through protective gesture. #EmotionalAngularism #OutsiderArt #AbstractPortraiture #PoliticalArt
