Description
Prismatic Life (2024) is a large-scale collage painting that brings together ten archival works into a single, expansive canvas. Through the layering of acid-free archival paper, Haiiileen constructs a kaleidoscopic surface of fractal compositions and chromatic interplay. Warm tones recede into the background while cool colors rise forward, generating a hypnotic design palette that immerses viewers in waves of depth and dimension.
Conceptual Framework
Rooted in Haiiileen’s self-identification as a prismatic being, this work embodies the multifaceted nature of thought and practice across art, performance, and immersive environments. The composition is influenced by fractal logics and the idea of the metaverse as a lived, layered existence. By collapsing ten past paintings into one unified surface, Prismatic Life functions as both archive and metamorphosis — a living record of artistic evolution since 2020.
The painting is not only an optical exploration but also a personal meditation on multiplicity, reflecting how identity and practice are refracted across time, space, and medium.
Archival Significance
Prismatic Life is an important milestone in Haiiileen’s archive, encapsulating four years of creative experimentation into one single work. It demonstrates her ability to synthesize archival practice with forward-looking vision, bridging past pieces into a cohesive new whole.
This painting also expands her oeuvre beyond glass and light-based works into paper-based collages, while still carrying her signature chromatic and fractal sensibility. It stands as both a personal self-portrait and a communal invitation to see life as a spectrum of infinite prismatic possibilities.
