Frenzied Pull is a digital abstract composition created through distortion, repetition, and instinct. I didn’t go into this piece with a plan. I followed what felt right, what looked wrong, and what refused to settle until it turned into something charged and alive.
At its core, Frenzied Pull is about tension. Attraction. That moment where everything starts responding at once and you’re not fully in control anymore.
It doesn’t ask for attention.
It pulls it.

How I Created Frenzied Pull
This piece started with something simple. I took a photograph of my own eye.
I removed everything around it, isolating just the eye itself. Then I did what I always do when something feels too literal. I distorted it. I pushed it. I wobbled it until it stopped behaving and started becoming something else.
When I looked at it again, I loved the shape immediately. So I duplicated it, flipped it horizontally, and placed the two together.
Wings.
Not soft moths. Something drawn. Something off.
Now I had wings, but no body. No structure holding them together.
That part didn’t come right away. I sat with it, let it bother me a little, until it clicked.
A Q-tip.
I took a photo, cut off one end, and manipulated it into the antennae. Then I used the stem as the torso, keeping it more intact so it grounded everything. I liked that contrast. Controlled versus distorted. Clean versus chaotic.
The moths were working. They had movement. They were already responding to something.
But the piece still wasn’t finished.
It needed tension. Something unexpected.
So I put an APB out over text. If anyone had an old school cheese grater with a handle, I needed it. No aesthetic. No styling. Just real.
My bestie came through, obviously.
I took the photo and pushed it the same way. Distorted it. Layered it. Added that gritty, almost newspaper-dot texture until it stopped reading as a kitchen object and started acting like structure.
The second I dropped it into the composition, everything snapped into place. And that’s when I felt it.
The energy shifted into something familiar.
The Birds.
Not literal. Not referential in a forced way. But that same underlying tension. That feeling that something is building, reacting, multiplying, and you don’t get to stop it.
Everything responding to something you can’t see.
From Distortion to Frenzy
Frenzied Pull didn’t come from a concept. It came from reaction.
Each element started as something ordinary. My eye. A Q-tip. A cheese grater.
Nothing about them belonged together.
But once I pushed them far enough, distorted them enough, repeated them enough, they stopped being objects and became energy. Movement. A system that doesn’t sit still.
It pulls. It reacts. It builds on itself.
And it doesn’t calm down.
Frenzied Pull: Abstract Distortions
Frenzied Pull lives inside my Abstract Distortions work, where I take real forms and push them past recognition until they become something entirely new.
It is a special edition release available on canvas only in 20×20.
This isn’t a quiet piece.
It’s tension, movement, and just enough control to keep it from completely unraveling.
Or maybe not.
