Planes of Being
In Planes of Being, lightness and weight converge in quiet balance. Layers of paper are dyed, their edges gently burnt, and in places stripped back to reveal what lies beneath. Though the materials remain delicate, the forms evoke something enduring—abstracted echoes of stone, horizon, or monument. Each composition feels grounded yet spacious, calm yet resolute, as if presence itself were taking form through the meeting of surface and depth. Earth tones mingle with soft yellows and muted grays, suggesting both the physical world and an inner landscape shaped by time. These works propose that being is not a fixed state but a continuum—built, revealed, and renewed through stillness and change.
