Black (Black & White and Stillness & Time)

This black-and-white work stages a quiet archaeology of loss: fragmented motifs—heads, remnants, and small votive-like forms—are arranged with the cool deliberation of a specimen sheet, as if memory itself must be catalogued to be endured. The stark tonal range and etched textures turn light into an interrogator, pulling ruined architecture and object-stubs out of darkness while refusing the comfort of full clarity. By balancing intimate relics against a larger devastated structure, the composition suggests how personal histories and collective catastrophe mirror one another—each scar becoming both evidence and elegy.
