Artwork
Silkscreened contours echo a distant terrain -
Red threads cut through, not to mend, but to expose.
A memory under pressure.
A fracture held in place.
Yellow stitching - order imposed or language emerging?
It hovers between measure and myth.
This is not a mountain,
but a convergence:
of geologic time and lived experience,
of material force and silent belief.
What holds us together may also pull us apart
.
What drifts might still remain connected - by a thread.
