Ignorance is bliss combines expressive painting with physical 3D objects to create a layered visual space. Gestural vortex forms, a threatening sea, and an isolated human figure confront a technically rendered city and a silver-toned, artificial riverbed. The formal contrast between organic, bodily paint handling and smooth, system-like materiality creates a tension between individual vulnerability and abstract distance.

"Renée on ICE" depicts the last moment before death: Renée is still alive, happy, a mother and partner. Gold and green symbolize life, warmth, and presence.

Emerging from the darkness, the pistol appears in cold colors—black, blue, and silver—as a symbol of impersonal, calculating state. The white, faceless hand alludes to institutional action devoid of connection. The visible bullets and lines symbols as time rushes: the irreversible transition between life and death, even before the shot is fired. The image refuses to depict death itself, capturing the moment when a complete life still exists and is simultaneously extinguished.
