Distortion 11

Arranged in a disciplined grid, the repeated bottle silhouettes become a quiet census of absence and residue—each form familiar, yet individually scarred by smoky abrasions and partial erasures. The palette of carbon blacks, ashen greys, and occasional ochre flares turns the mundane vessel into a pulse of memory, where warmth appears like a fleeting ember against soot. Negative space and strict spacing impose order, but the mottled textures refuse uniformity, suggesting the tension between mass-produced identity and the intimate traces of use, loss, and repetition. The work reads as a meditation on consumption and persistence: objects multiply, yet each bears a different weather of time.
