Untitled 16 (Beneath the Surface)

A hushed field of silvery greys holds a central stack of softened bands, like sedimentary layers suspended in mist, where each striation emerges and recedes with the patience of breath. The light is not cast so much as absorbed—glittering particulate flecks pulse beneath a veil, suggesting memory trying to surface without fully declaring itself. This restrained vertical symmetry becomes a meditative axis, balancing presence and erasure, as though the work records time’s quiet compression rather than a single moment. In its near-monochrome restraint, the painting turns atmosphere into subject, inviting the viewer to listen to what the surface refuses to say outright.
