To Break Stone (Fragments of Memory)

This collage-like abstraction assembles stone-silent fragments into an architectural grid, as if memory has been quarried and carefully catalogued into compartments of restraint. Deep slate blues and mineral greys dominate, their granular textures catching light like mica, while the irregular edges along the left margin interrupt the order with a raw, geological insistence. At the center, a vertical blue form reads as a river vein or a standing figure—an axis of inward calm that holds the composition together while the surrounding planes suggest pressure, compression, and time. The work’s quiet tension lies in this negotiation between containment and rupture, inviting the viewer to feel how structure can both preserve and constrain what is most elemental.
