Through a series of layered watercolor paintings, Dan explores cultural and psychological transitions across time - inspired by the cinematic cross dissolve.

Referencing the Human Potential Movement and mid-century media, the work traces a shift from collective transformation to hyper-individualized self-growth.
Dissolves moves through the introspective 1950s, the self-actualizing 1970s, and into today’s fragmented, conspiratorial climate, capturing the emotional undercurrents of each era.
