Beyond the Lines and Layers reimagines the surface of painting not as a fixed container of images, but as a site of tension, resistance, and reconfiguration.

What is a painting when its surface resists clarity? When it trembles, folds, or disappears?
In this body of work, I explore painting as something unstable—where common materials like plastic wrap and soft traces like charcoal shift the meaning of what a “finished image” is.

Rather than aiming for resolution, I leave things open. Layers appear and vanish. Lines float or fall apart.
These gestures are quiet, but they carry tension: between presence and absence, tradition and disruption.

This is not about offering answers. It’s about staying with the uncertain, and letting the work speak slowly.
