Untitled 2 (Expressions in Ink)

Rendered in stark woodcut-like contrasts, this suite of figures turns the human body into a landscape of line—rippling hatches and concentric currents that suggest memory, pressure, and the quiet noise of interior life. Faces fragment, overlap, and withdraw into patterned fields, so identity feels less like a fixed portrait than a chorus of moods moving through the same skin. Occasional eruptions of color—an ochre ground, a bruised red halo, a lucid blue sea—operate as emotional temperature shifts, momentarily illuminating solitude, desire, and resilience within otherwise austere black-and-white space. Across the panels, the compositions hold a tender tension between containment and overflow: characters sit, embrace, dream, or drift, as if each scene is a pause where private turbulence becomes visible through disciplined mark-making.
