Nightlife is a layered meditation on shadow, reflection, and the rhythms of the unseen. At its center, a luminous circular batik on rag paper suggests a moon or portal, anchoring a field of scattered mechanical relics and patinaed hardware. The surrounding backdrop of faded music notation and vintage text hints at forgotten songs and stories, while the embellished frame quietly pulses with hidden meaning. It’s a celestial nocturne assembled from the remnants of time.
