What’s in the Tea?

Acrylic on 12 x 16 inch canvas

What’s in the Tea? plays with perception and ambiguity, inviting the viewer to question what is real and what has been altered. The two hands, adorned with a mesmerizing geometric pattern, hold a delicate teacup and saucer. Their arms twist and bend in an almost serpentine manner, creating an eerie yet graceful motion. The flat mint green background offers no context, no clues—just the question lingering in the air.

Are these hands offering you something unknown, something transformative? Or are they your own hands, changed after taking a sip? The painting exists in that moment of uncertainty, that split second where reality bends and shifts. Like a strange dream or an unexplainable déjà vu, What’s in the Tea? asks the viewer to embrace the unknown and decide for themselves: Do you take the cup? Or have you already?
