This mixed media series weaves together silkscreened landscapes and yarned textures - forms once solid now begin to unravel, stretch, and drift. What begins as a mountain dissolves into thread, like memory slipping from the edge of clarity. The printed surface holds a moment still, while the textile pushes it forward - soft, unruly, alive. Layers no longer stay in place; they ripple, wander, and echo one another. As the eye moves, so does time - folding, unfolding. Like landscapes within us, memories remain not as facts but as traces - faint, vivid, and always shifting. A quiet choreography of separation, and of longing to stay connected.
