Signals to Rise is a mixed-media work from the Thread series that explores movement, determination, and the instinctive human desire to reach beyond limitations.
The viewer observes the composition from below, as if standing beneath a group of figures whose hands rise powerfully toward the sky. Several hands stretch upward with open fingers, their gestures filled with urgency and intention. The perspective emphasizes the vertical movement of the bodies, transforming the hands into signals of aspiration and collective energy.
Behind them, the sky unfolds in a glowing gradient of peach, orange, and deep red tones. The warm atmosphere evokes sunset light — a moment suspended between ending and beginning. The color field amplifies the emotional charge of the scene, surrounding the gestures with heat and intensity.
Across the canvas, scattered stitches of blue and light-blue wool thread appear in seemingly spontaneous directions. These textile marks introduce rhythm and movement into the painted surface. The threads act almost like visual impulses or energetic signals, amplifying the motion of the hands and encouraging their upward reach.
By combining figurative painting with tactile textile elements, the work transforms into a dynamic surface where gesture, color, and material interact. The stitched threads interrupt the stillness of the painted sky, creating a sensation of vibration and momentum.
The painting suggests a powerful message: the persistent movement toward one’s dreams. The hands rise not quietly but insistently, driven by inner force. The threads become signals of encouragement — subtle reminders to continue reaching upward toward what one truly desires.
