Hope To Meet At Infinity 2 (Paper Boat Dreams)

Rendered in a restrained monochrome, the figure emerges from a fog of washes and stains as if memory itself were the surface, his body both present and eroding under time’s abrasion. The gentle tilt of the head and the careful offering of the hands turn the small paper object—part book, part folded vessel—into a quiet talisman, a fragile architecture of hope held against a vast, bruised emptiness. The looping bands around his waist and wrist read as soft restraints, suggesting how aspiration is often carried alongside limitation, while the splattered marks punctuate the scene like unspoken interruptions. In this suspended space, the work becomes a meditation on vulnerability: the human impulse to build meaning from the simplest materials, even when the world feels weathered and uncertain.
