24" x 48" x 1"

Smile in the Chaos is a vibrant fusion of urban iconography and sacred geometry, layered to create a visual rhythm that moves between the ordered and the unpredictable. Golden honeycombs, tessellated cubes, and optical spirals intersect with stenciled figures, graffiti-inspired animals, and bursts of color that seem to pulse with life.

Hints of familiar street art phrases — like the partially obscured SMILE — emerge from behind translucent veils of paint, inviting the viewer to find positivity amid complexity. Silhouettes of people and animals weave through the geometric field, grounding the cosmic patterns in the everyday human experience.

The interplay of precise patterns with raw spray-paint gestures captures a tension between structure and spontaneity, making the work both meditative and electric. This layered dialogue between geometry and grit becomes an invitation: to look deeper, to find joy in unexpected places, and to recognize beauty in life’s organized chaos. Even though They Torched the Town.
