Distortion 9 (Visual Lexicon)

Arranged as a quiet grid of narrow panels, the work reads like a cabinet of private inscriptions—each vignette a fragment of lived experience translated into spare symbols: bicycles, houses, fruit-like ovals, and childlike letters that hover between language and code. Muted washes of ochre, lavender, ash, and pale sky-blue create a weathered luminosity, as if the paper has absorbed time and touch, while the repeated vertical format imposes a gentle discipline on otherwise wandering marks. The oscillation between diagram and daydream turns the composition into an atlas of memory, where meaning is not declared but patiently excavated from traces, omissions, and recurring motifs. In this way, the piece becomes less a single image than a chorus of small testimonies—tender, provisional, and insistently human.
