Yellow Satin depicts a figure wearing an intense yellow layered dress, sitting on a blue set of steps. While there is no clear protagonist, we are invited to speculate on its narrative properties. This indetermination heightens our role as a participant-observer. René Magritte’s influence runs fluidly in this piece: characters are undefined and distilled. We are on the edge of doubt.

Darwin’s cinematic approach produces fragments that present rather than represent. The signified and the signifier are meant to be unearthed by the observer.
