"Morning After the Night Before" is a haunting and deeply symbolic artwork that captures a moment of reckoning, consequence, and transformation. Created during the artist’s time in HMP, this prison-era painting reflects on the emotional and psychological wreckage faced while awaiting trial.

A barren landscape and a wrecked red car serve as metaphors for chaos, destruction, and past choices. Atop the car, a defiant female figure stands, embodying both resilience and vulnerability, caught between regret and survival. A golden reptile—a recurring motif in the artist’s work—slithers nearby, symbolizing instinct, adaptation, and the primal forces that drive us forward. The fiery sky looms overhead, intensifying the atmosphere of self-confrontation and transformation.

Painted on a prison-issued sheet, this piece carries the raw imprint of incarceration, making it an authentic and powerful statement on personal struggle, redemption, and the human capacity for change.

A must-have for collector of prison art, conceptual surrealism, and outsider expressionism.
