This work constructs a city from fractured planes and layered pigment, where houses and rooftops emerge like remembered fragments rather than fixed architecture. A cool, expansive blue sky presses down on the dense, quilted mass of ochres and ember tones below, intensifying the sense of heat, proximity, and lived compression. Scratched linear marks and glancing highlights animate the surface like street-noise translated into texture, suggesting a settlement held together by resilience as much as by necessity. The painting becomes less a map than a psychological topography—an urban hillside of dreams, labor, and quiet endurance stacked one upon another.
