Beneath the Surface

This piece was created in a moment of relative quiet. On the surface, there is a sense of breath, of stabilization, of movement that has softened. Yet beneath the surface, the layers are not smooth. Folds, currents, and grooves continue to exist — like memory that does not disappear even when the body learns to stand again. The relief is built from accumulated layers of papier-mâché, collected, folded, and compressed one upon another, creating a space where outward calm coexists with inner tension. It is a space where breathing is possible — yet the scars remain. Textures and colors hold the tension between what appears on the surface and what stays deeply imprinted within.
