Intune with the universe not affected by it. by Uchennayaa Explore Mondoir Studio Medium: Acrylic on spherical canvas Dimensions: 36 x 36 in Year: 2024 Price: $1348.00 USD Status: available To be in tune with the universe is not to withdraw from its uncertainties, but to engage with life without allowing every change, challenge, or expectation to bring us down. In a cruel world, being in tune with the universe is to remain grounded in ourselves while life continues to change, and finding a sense of inner peace even when the world feels uncertain. Why collect this work?The circular support encloses an ordinary roadside scene beneath a sky containing two pale discs. By placing a small interpersonal gesture within this doubled celestial frame, the painting measures cosmic alignment through bodily attention rather than escape from daily life. Uchennayaa describes these figures as recurring “Chu” characters and states that their pronounced lips derive from an Nsibidi symbol for love. That artist-reported vocabulary makes the figures’ near-touch especially significant, while leaving their relationship unspecified.In the photograph, the shorter figure extends one hand toward the other, whose hand rests on her rounded abdomen. Their sideways glances and the narrow gap between their hands suspend the encounter before contact.The catalogue identifies acrylic on a 36-inch spherical canvas. Broad horizontal divisions organize road, foliage, and sky, while softened atmospheric transitions contrast with the clearly bounded figures and buildings.The work gives concrete social form to the title’s abstract claim: being “in tune” appears not as isolation, but as an unresolved negotiation between self-possession and another person’s presence.
