Artwork details
A monumental layered surface unfolds like a wall carrying traces of accumulated time. Dark vertical washes descend across the canvas, suggesting erosion, gravity, or the slow passage of events that cannot be fully erased. Within this field, fragments of smaller surfaces appear—rectangular planes that resemble windows, remnants, or records embedded into the larger structure.
The work reflects on how memory survives inside surfaces. What appears calm and stable from a distance contains concealed gestures, erased marks, and fragments of drawings that continue to exist beneath the visible layer. The painting becomes a quiet archive of actions—evidence that every surface remembers more than it shows.
