The painting "An Evolution in Sense of Searching" explores the theme of modern navigation and its impact on human intuition. At the center of the composition is a young individual covering their eyes, symbolizing a sense of disconnection or overwhelm amid an age defined by digital tools and constant access to information. This gesture suggests that, despite the abundance of guidance available maps, GPS, and data there’s a tension between external direction and inner perception. The covering of the eyes may signify an intentional withdrawal from external influences or the confusion that can arise when surrounded by an excess of information.

Around the figure is a network of yellow roads, reminiscent of a digital map, interspersed with colorful location markers. These elements represent the structured paths and decision-making tools that modern navigation provides, yet they fail to guide the young figure, who stands still and blind. The implication is that while technology can show us physical paths, it might not fulfill a deeper, more intuitive need for direction. This modern map layout contrasts sharply with the organic tree-root shapes in the background, drawn in earthy reds and blues, hinting at a more natural, instinctive form of exploration that modern technology can sometimes obscure.

The painting invites viewers to consider how the human experience of "searching" has changed. Once led by internal compasses and personal discovery, the journey of finding one’s way has become intertwined with technology, sometimes to the point of losing touch with our inner sense of direction. This artwork challenges us to reflect on the balance between external tools and self-reliance, suggesting that true discovery comes not only from outside sources but also from within. "An Evolution in Sense of Searching" asks viewers to reconnect with their natural intuition, reminding us that finding our way is as much an internal journey as an external one.
