'Longing to Lose Form' 2025
​
'Longing to Lose Form' explores the profound human desire to release our grip on permanence, certainty, and the illusion of solid ground. At once visceral and ethereal, the painting invites viewers into a contemplative space where the boundaries between body, self, and soul begin to blur.
Inspired by both the raw complexity of being human and the Buddhist philosophy of non-attachment, Yason weaves a visual narrative that is literal in its portrayal yet spiritual in its resonance. Figures or forms may seem to dissolve, drift, or merge—symbolizing the quiet unraveling of identity, ego, and the need for control.
This work is a meditation on surrender. It speaks to the inner longing to transcend form, to let go of the fixed ideas we carry about who we are and how the world should be. In that letting go, Yason suggests, we may discover not emptiness, but a deeper kind of presence.
