Yoga Man explores balance, breath, and stillness amidst movement. The original figure rendered in calm acrylics becomes a canvas for 60 participants, blending communal expression with internal energy paths glowing under blacklight.

Approximately 60 participants each claimed a numbered section, peeled off the mask, and painted their contribution. The form filled with vibrant, chaotic energy — each person's mark inseparable from the whole.
