Keyishian’s "Whole Time Tested," a 4x4-foot oil on canvas, examines the nature of cultural identity and the tension between emergence and dissolution. Vertical streaks of black and soft blues capture the sensation of rain or tears against a twilight sky, accented by floating ghostlike forms that speak to memory and loss.

A solitary red streak cuts through the canvas, symbolizing the resilience of identity amidst displacement. Through this work, Keyishian explores the fragile balance of belonging and transformation.
