"The Shema" Painting

My work explores how we construct meaning through layers—of time, memory, and the fragmented nature of contemporary life. Working in textured, mixed-media abstraction, I build surfaces through an evolving process of accumulation and disruption. Fragments of color, line, and text emerge and recede, echoing the way experience is formed—not as a single narrative, but as a series of overlapping moments. Structure and spontaneity coexist within each piece. What appears chaotic is often carefully balanced, reflecting the tension between order and disorientation in how we process the world around us. I am particularly interested in how visual information is absorbed, altered, and remembered over time. Each layer both reveals and obscures what came before, creating a visual language that mirrors the instability—and resilience—of perception. These works invite close looking. Meaning is not fixed, but unfolds gradually, asking the viewer to navigate their own relationship to memory, place, and time.
