Painting has never remained on the surface.

What began as an exploration of color, matter, and pictorial space gradually expanded into an investigation of how materials carry traces of human experience. Over time, canvas left the wall, textiles entered the process, and painting became a way of thinking through memory, presence, transformation, and the relationships that connect bodies, objects, and space.

Cutting, stitching, tensioning, suspending, assembling, and reconfiguring materials are not simply technical procedures. They are ways of listening to matter and observing how it responds, resists, adapts, and changes. Second-hand garments, reclaimed textiles, and altered surfaces become places where memory persists as a physical condition rather than as representation.

Current research focuses on textile transformation and the persistence of matter: how materials continue to evolve while retaining traces of what has passed through them. Painting, installation, and textile construction converge within an ongoing exploration of presence, absence, belonging, and embodied experience.
