The “August Triptych” is a linocut series created in 2018 that delves into symbolism through three distinct compositions. The imagery of a boat, an eye, and a rooster are more than just visual elements—they are metaphors for reflection, observation, and awakening, all connected by the quiet energy of late summer.
In the first piece, the boat, gently cradled by abstract waves, represents a journey—both physical and emotional. The eye, central in the second composition, is a symbol of clarity and vision, encouraging the viewer to contemplate their perspective and awareness. The final image, the rooster, signifies awakening and vigilance, a call to rise and confront the day. These symbols, tied together by the triptych format, explore the themes of movement, transformation, and the cyclical nature of time.
The triptych format itself suggests continuity, inviting the viewer to engage with the flow of ideas across the three panels. August, a month often associated with transition—between summer’s peak and the approaching fall—becomes a metaphor for personal and spiritual change. The linocut technique, with its stark contrasts and textural richness, adds a tactile dimension to the work, drawing viewers into the narrative that unfolds across the series.
