Contemporary Society 97 (Paper Plane Bird)

This mixed-media surface reads like a weathered map of memory—stained, eroded, and quietly luminous—where pools of slate and sepia seep into one another like time’s sediment. Two paper birds, cut from the typography of mass culture, puncture the fog of the ground with a fragile insistence, their flight tethered by a wavering thread of white marks that suggests both guidance and restraint. The composition balances drift and direction: abstract atmospheres open into faint linear scaffolds, as if pathways and horizons are perpetually forming, dissolving, and reforming. In that tension, the work speaks to escape as an act of bricolage—hope assembled from fragments, moving forward through a landscape that refuses to stay still.
