RAW was created during a moment of tension in Dea’s practice — a quiet push and pull between control and surrender.

As the piece evolved, there was an instinct to refine and contain each movement. But the work resisted being managed. It asked for presence instead. For trust. For allowing energy to move freely across the surface without forcing its direction.

The texture holds that dialogue — areas shaped with intention, and others formed through release. Gold appears as balance rather than embellishment, anchoring the work while allowing its rawness to remain visible.

RAW exists in the space between discipline and flow, precision and intuition.
It reflects a pivotal moment in Dea’s journey — recognizing that creativity deepens not through control alone, but through the courage to let go.

Gold does not soften the rawness here.
It protects it.
