Converse Patterns is a series that juxtaposes conflicting interests—peace achieved at the cost of war, love accompanied by disappointment, or political consensus overshadowed by deadly protests. The artist frames this concept as a necessary evil that people endure to achieve greater ends. The works reveal the confliction of having to fend off undesired engagements associated with attaining one's goals.

Greatjoy projects the frustration of the struggles and the impatience of their subjects amidst their strife. In other figures, Greatjoy conveys hues of hope emanating from an understanding that only a little remains to overcome the forces withstanding their progress.
