Your drawings seem to operate within a suspended temporality where memory, gesture, and perception converge without resolution; how might this condition of suspension be understood not merely as an aesthetic choice but as a structural resistance to narrative closure within contemporary image-making?
I approach the idea of “suspended temporality” through the material behavior of ink on silk. When ink touches silk, it does not remain on the surface but permeates the fibers, moving between front and back. A line just drawn may recede behind an earlier trace, while what once seemed erased can re-emerge depending on moisture and density. In this way, time in my work does not accumulate sequentially; it folds, overlaps, and circulates—much like memory itself.
