SURFACE, 2026

This series continues my research into surface as a place of memory.

I work through slow material processes — layering, sanding back, rebuilding — allowing earlier decisions to remain visible. Nothing is fully erased. Each surface carries traces of its own making, holding time not as image or narrative, but as accumulation.

Each piece is constructed from 5–8 layers of natural pigments, ground charcoal, and rice paper on wood panel. The surface is built, worn down, and rebuilt, registering pressure, repetition, and duration.

My interest in surface developed as a way of thinking through time — how marks persist, how materials remember, how presence remains after action. I am drawn to surfaces that function like walls or skin, bearing traces of passage rather than representation.

These works are not representations, but states: quiet, restrained, deliberately unresolved.
