Edge of Uncertainty

A moment suspended between vulnerability and possibility.

This painting captures the tension of standing on the brink of the unknown, reflecting the inner struggle between fear and growth.

Edge of Uncertainty depicts a young woman caught in a moment of anxious contemplation. Her nail-biting gesture reveals her inner tension, while the distorted space and vivid, unnatural colors create an environment that feels slightly off-balance—mirroring the uncertainty of the unknown.

This piece reflects the vulnerability and quiet courage required to step into uncharted territory. While the path ahead is unclear, this moment also holds potential for growth, discovery, and transformation. The painting invites viewers to consider their own relationship with uncertainty, reminding us that even in discomfort, there is the possibility of profound change.

Windows Within: Universal Narratives in Fractured Realism

This body of work by Deborah Scott explores the profound connections between personal stories and shared human experiences. Through a series of conversations and interviews with individuals from diverse backgrounds, Scott uncovers intimate narratives of struggle, resilience, and triumph. These seemingly unique moments are transformed into powerful works of art, revealing their universality and the interconnectedness of all human experiences.

Each painting in Windows Within serves as both a reflection and a revelation, embodying Scott’s belief that art is a mirror to the complexities of identity and existence. Her work draws on the psychological framework of Johari’s Window, exploring the interplay between the visible and hidden aspects of the self. By blending classical techniques with intentional disruptions—rips, tears, and abstract shapes—Scott creates a dynamic visual language that captures the fragmented, evolving nature of contemporary life.

Windows Within is an emotional and visual journey, inviting viewers to see themselves in the stories of others and to consider the profound universality of human connection.
