Waterscape 3 (Untitled)

This triptych stages three stone-like effigies as if they were reliquaries, their solemn, weathered faces interrupted by bright bands of tiled pattern that read like blindfolds and censor bars at once. Against the muted ground, the careful symmetry is unsettled by small, toy-like intrusions—an orphaned suit, a bird, a hand—suggesting identity assembled from fragments rather than inherited whole. The work’s tactile contrast between archaic relief and crisp geometric grid turns ornament into obstruction, proposing a contemporary ritual where tradition is not erased but edited, masked, and re-scripted. In the resulting hush, the figures feel both protected and silenced, hovering between devotional icon and cultural evidence.
