Dashes

2017-19 | pencil on paper

I am intrigued by what is barely visible and barely audible — what demands focus and intimate attention.
This is one of my core internal needs, which I sought to express through a series of linear drawings.

Light fills the space between rhythmic pencil traces, revealing itself only at a certain distance. It creates a space for contemplation, for silence, and for forming an intimate connection — between myself and the emerging work, and between the viewer and the abstract structure.

Exercises in patience

2024 | leaves, hair on paper

Our bodies are permeable; they are the first environment through which we experience the multispecies world and co-create a complex organism.
Like a bolt from the blue, we are struck by illnesses and processes that are not always welcome.
Those unfolding within the body cannot be rushed.
Healing, regeneration, and renewal — they take time and teach me patience.
Exercises in patience is a series that refers to humble, routinely repeated actions — carried out with care and tenderness — that cultivate well-being.
