Metamorphs

Metamorphs is an ongoing series of layered paper works.

I intentionally made it monochrome, in a range from black to white, not to remove emotions, but to quiet them.

In black and white, there is no distraction, only space to perceive.
To see clearly.
To feel what rises.

Are they guardians… or intruders?
Watching over… or watching through?

Using only shades of grey, I tried to create a timeless, minimalist atmosphere that strips away the distraction and emotion of color, emphasizing form, texture, and contrast.
Black and white have always been symbols of dualities: light and dark, presence and absence, simplicity and complexity.

I see the patterns and spirits caught in these works as reflections of the patterns and spirits of nature.
And just as I see nature as neither good nor bad (it simply is), so are the patterns in these pieces.

Forms and figures surface from the invisible world, the subconscious and metaphysical.
Their purpose is not to charm, but to remind of invisible yet persistent, existing in the space around us. Of life and death, reality and dream, hope and delusion.
