SALT & SKIN

MP4 4096 × 3112

Water, Salt, and Flesh, the base elements to our existence. As the body dissolves into abstraction, it echoes the erosion of stone by the sea—a quiet momentum, a meditation on form and nature. Our bodies, like the earth, are shaped by time, memory, and the tides. The raw canvas, left exposed, becomes a surface of excavation, a skin of its own. Within the work, the presence of form gently underscores the circular power of creation- the unfinished imperfections of life, death and rebirth - mirrored against the every eternal rhythm of the waves.

Artist’s Statement

Two central themes guided this work: the unfinished and perception. There is no invitation here, only a command—see it, sit with it, return to it.

At first, it resists. The gaze wavers, not immediately settled by the colors, the textures, the way the water alludes to be seen from beneath rather than above. I wanted this to be a piece you wrestle with, something that does not submit immediately but unfolds over time. But like the ocean, it asks you to come back, again and again.
