Land{e}scape has resulted from an act of deliberate deformation and transformation, where existing works are crumpled, reopened, and reimagined into new forms.

Through rounds of crumpling, reopening, and painting, the surface becomes a record of its own history. Layers build up, revealing traces of what was hidden before and creating shapes that seem to grow naturally, like something lived or weathered. The process transforms the original work into something entirely new, yet preserving traces of history and identity within their transformed forms

At the center there is an interplay between “land”, a metaphor for stability and belonging, and “escape,” which evokes the impulse toward transcendence and transformation. Through the deliberate manipulation of surface and the careful layering of pigment, organic landscapes emerge, capturing the dynamic tension between rootedness and the desire for change.

Made in a period marked by rapid global developments, often beyond our control, the work explores how we make sense of and adapt to the fast-changing world around us. It invites viewers to reflect on their connection to both physical and imagined landscapes, on resilience, and on the possibilities that emerge with each new beginning, every form marking another step in an ongoing process of change.
