Guarded Tension

A dog, frozen in focus. Ears raised, neck extended, gaze held steady – all formed through shattered glass.

This piece wasn’t painted. It was broken into being.

Created through precise, controlled hammer strikes, the fractures catch and reflect the light, revealing a portrait that is both raw and restrained.

It holds tension in stillness. Quiet alertness. Strength without motion.

Guarded Tension is a singular expression of presence and patience – a moment captured, not with a brush, but with force.
