oil on canvas, 3’ X 5’

Ice is a striking oil painting that centers on mid-century chairs once used inside the former ICE detention center in Portland, Oregon. Rendered with thoughtful composition and rich texture, the piece transforms an object tied to a complex social history into an evocative visual meditation. Cool tones and painterly confidence give the work a quiet presence that encourages reflection — bridging design heritage, personal memory, and political narrative.
