Departures//Arrivals

(a two-painting series)
Los Angeles | 2023
A reflection on the fragile threshold between appearing and leaving, presence and transition – the subtle movements through which lives intersect, accompany one another for a time, and continue beyond the visible frame. The imagery remains unstable. What first appears architectural may dissolve into bodies, gestures, or fleeting relational moments, a figure holding another, a gathering, a quiet passage. The surface invites slow looking; within the textures, multiple readings emerge and dissolve as quickly as they come.
