Boundaries of Liberty: Enclosed with a birdcage, JELILO embodies the delicate balance between innocence and the pursuit of freedom. As falling leaves drift around the cage, they symbolise the passage of time and the inevitable changes it brings. This imagery contrasts the confinement of the cage with the natural flow of time, inviting reflection on how the allure of the unknown often seems more vibrant as time progresses. The painting explores the tension between the comfort of the familiar and the tantalising promise of freedom beyond one’s current boundaries

Flight of the Infinite: Exploring the boundless nature of possibility and the journey through endless choices, this piece reflects on how transformation and opportunity shape our path. It invites contemplation on how embracing change and seizing opportunities guide us through the infinite realms of adventure and self discovery, highlighting the potential within us to navigate our own course.

Riding the Wave of Luck: JELILO rides a wave emerging from a Japanese lucky amulet, evoking the interplay between chance and effort. The painting invites viewers to ponder whether luck, symbolised by the amulet, truly has the power to shape our destiny, or if it is our hard work and determination that ultimately steer us in the right direction. As JELILO surfs the crest of fortune, the piece challenges us to reflect on the role of luck versus the value of perseverance in our journey toward success.
