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.
Creation & Event Lifecycle
The Painting
The figure was rendered in full — a completed underpainting of a yoga pose, holding stillness before the energy of the crowd arrived.
The Collaboration
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.
Complete
The finished work — artist and community layered together, balancing the chaos of collaboration with the stillness of the original form.
Under Blacklight
Phosphorescent paint reveals the hidden layer — chakras and internal energy flow become visible, glowing with what was always there beneath the surface.
