Untitled 15 (Beneath the Weight)

A dense column of undulating black bands rises like a living monolith, its repeated waves compressing space until the white seams read as breaths of light trapped between layers. The rhythm is at once soothing and claustrophobic—an optical tide that suggests time accumulating, memory sedimenting, and the body’s pulse translated into pattern. Near the base, a small, eye-like oval interrupts the cadence, hinting at a watchful core or a seed of consciousness within the mass, as if the entire structure is both shelter and organism. In its stark monochrome, the work stages a quiet drama between heaviness and release, where the slightest interval of white becomes an act of resistance.
