Notes

1. Cartogram, 2025

A map of fractures, a ledger of the earth’s slow negotiations with itself. This series traces the fault lines, seams, and shifting boundaries of stone—where rock plates attempt to fit together or pull apart. These fissures are not sudden; they are slow, inevitable, inscribed over time like a cartogram of unseen forces. The images capture the tension between cohesion and fragmentation, reading the landscape as a record of movement, strain, and quiet transformation.

2. Bas-relief, 2025

A landscape momentarily revealed by rain. Shallow depressions—barely noticeable in dry stone—fill with water, spelling out a hidden topography, a fleeting patchwork of basins and rivulets. For a brief moment, erosion transforms into form, absence into presence. These pools act as vessels, holding the memory of rainfall before vanishing again, leaving only the quiet impression of what once was.
