ORIGIN

Beneath every layer lies a different experience.
Texture becomes a record of formation - of what was imposed, what resisted and what endured. We mistake accumulation for identity, yet every layer is only a temporary condition of the original self

In these works, dense black textures form a layered, resistant field, suggesting the weight and opacity of the inner self. Red incisions cut through the surface as moments of awareness - marks of thought and self emerging. Together, they reveal a tension between containment and expression, where the self is shaped through rupture and becoming

BECOMING

AXIS

Identity is not a fixed center, but a changing relationship between presence and absence. As the self shifts, so too does the silence that surrounds it. Meaning emerges not from the object itself, but from its position within the whole

In the Tabula Rasa works, each calligraphic gesture marks the energy of consciousness, capturing passing states, tensions and transformations. Rooted in the tradition of shodō, these works do not form language but rather visual expressions of inner state - signs in which presence, intention and transformation converge

The compositions are perceived as a kind of fabric of the inner world - dense, fragmented and constantly forming. Within them, thought emerges in the process of becoming, taking direction as it brings together emotion and perception into an expression of consciousness
