Untitled 2 (Layers of Time)

Suspended within a russet field, the painting reads like a vertical reliquary of the body—soft cavities and pale strata stacked into an intimate architecture that feels simultaneously anatomical and archaeological. Warm, bruised ochres and milky whites are handled with a gentle erosion, as if memory has been rubbed into the surface, while the dotted perimeter forms a protective hush around the central form. A trail of small golden squares descends like breadcrumbs or offerings, turning the composition into a quiet pilgrimage through thresholds—mouth, womb, wound—where desire, nourishment, and loss share the same passage. The work’s stillness is deceptive: it vibrates with the sense that meaning is not declared but gathered, piece by piece, from what the body cannot help but keep.
