About the work

An abstract composition in which a thin vertical fracture becomes the axis of inner tension and growth. Bright mosaic inclusions, like crystals of memory, break through the restrained surface, turning the gesture of damage into an act of creation.

The work develops the idea of the scar, the fracture, as something of value — the place where the energy of lived experience takes on form, colour and light.
