Statement diptych, each panel 30" × 36"

The Moment Before / The Moment After. This diptych holds a suspended breath in history. The left panel captures the moment just before — ornament, ceremony, and time still intact. A red ribbon threads its way through the scene, decorative and elegant. The right panel is its echo: the structure remains, but something essential has vanished. The ribbon persists — no longer decorative but ominous. Not the act itself, but the moment when excess meets reckoning. History does not shout here. It moves quietly.
