Untitled 9 (Paper Cut Exploration)

This series of paper-cut lattices stages a quiet tension between concealment and disclosure, where negative space becomes the primary narrator and the “image” is formed by what has been removed. The cool, granular turquoise ground reads like a submerged wall or oxidized surface, lending the crisp white cutouts the aura of archaeological fragments—precise, yet incomplete. Across the panels, the compositions shift from tangled curvilinear traces to starburst ruptures, suggesting systems—language, memory, or architecture—breaking apart and reassembling into new, provisional orders. Light skims the raised edges and activates subtle shadows, turning each incision into a temporal mark, as if the work records both an act of erasure and a tender reconstruction.
