Artist Statement

My work explores what survives collapse.

I am not interested in spectacle or consolation. I am interested in structure—what remains when identity fractures, when presence withdraws, when the body is no longer the centre.

The surface is treated as tissue: stretched, ruptured, scarred and held together. Forms appear to dissolve, yet something endures—architectural, psychological, elemental.

These works are not portraits of people.
They are portraits of residue.

I work in the tension between containment and rupture, discipline and instinct.

The question remains:

What remains?
