Speaking to The Light,  As if, I Can, 2024

This body of work moves at the threshold between breakdown and persistence. Here, materiality becomes a site of tension, bearing both vulnerability and force while tracing residual imprints of loss across buildings, trees, stone, and fabric.

These gestures of rupture, erosion, and recomposition, maps light as it moves through these surfaces as collective and personal histories. Across metal, wood, fabric, papier-mâché, and ink, these layered surfaces carry a tactile dissonance; broken, worn, and often reworked.
