This body of work explores landscape as an internal, shifting space shaped by memory, perception, and emotional terrain. Through abstraction, I aim to evoke the feeling of place rather than depict it—suggesting distance, erosion, movement, and stillness without relying on literal form. Working in layered textures and restrained compositions, I create surfaces that blur, dissolve, and re-emerge. Horizon lines, fragments, and open space act as quiet structures—markers of transition and ambiguity. Throughout the series, I’ve introduced moments of more saturated color to bring warmth, tension, and contemporary contrast to the otherwise muted fields. These accents serve as points of intensity—brief interruptions that hold the eye and activate the surface. The paintings are not tied to specific locations, but instead offer space for reflection. Each piece is a pause, a trace, an echo. Together, they form a visual journey through terrain that is both external and internal, grounded and imagined.
