This work turns the surface into a weathered field of memory, where concentric, spiraling strokes read like ripples moving outward from a half-buried source. Earth-toned ochres and soot-black smudges create a tense dialogue between illumination and abrasion, as if light is being excavated rather than applied. The composition resists a single focal point, instead pulling the eye through a vortex of layered marks that suggest both erosion and persistence—an inner current insisting on motion beneath an exhausted skin of time.
