SUSPENDED
STILLNESS
2022
Suspended Stillness explores moments where perception slows and forms begin to dissolve. The works move from landscape to surface to interior space, tracing a quiet shift from observation to memory.

In this series I work with charcoal as a way of slowing down perception. I am interested in the moment when an image is not fully stable, when a landscape, an object, or a surface begins to dissolve and becomes something felt rather than clearly seen.
