Untitled 21 (Untitled 28)

Rendered in spare, decisive line, the figure stands like an icon reconstructed from geometry—its body faceted into triangular planes that feel both architectural and devotional. The vast white field operates as a kind of silence, amplifying the tension between ornamental curls and rigid scaffolding, as though tradition is being held together by an inner engineering of memory. The symmetrical, forward-facing gaze confers calm authority, while the chain-like forms in each hand suggest the weight of ritual—adornment that can equally read as protection or restraint. In this fusion of folk ornament and structural abstraction, the work proposes identity as something assembled: precise, fragile, and resolutely enduring.
