Prayers for
Impossible
Landscapes
Sometimes prayer is a nearly invisible striving toward the almost, the impossible or the not yet. Landscapes make the perfect spectral containers for such a gesture. A place to stock and sort through unarticulated longings. In these works, delicate marks and layered textures imply that even the pieces themselves might dissolve at a moment’s notice. Prayer, here, is an act of quiet rebellion against the singularity of one’s own voice, one’s own company. In this terrain, stillness carries weight, and dialog is made when a question’s echo becomes its reply.

Correspondences
Threads stretch between bodies, taut and tenuous. These works explore the dynamics of connection—the delicate balance between union and autonomy. Watercolor moves like emotion: fluid, unpredictable, imprecise. Threadlike lines bind and divide, mirroring the labor of sustaining relatedness. A line stretches, pulling bodies together. Or apart. Connection is weight. Closeness is tension. Each piece captures the fragile balance—intimacy held against the risk of collapse. Coupling asks what we become by tethering to another.

Sentiments
These drawings are evidentiary documents of “The Pages Practice”. They are created in response to a question provided by a partner in an attempt to communicate beyond rational logic or explanatory structures of language. Human intelligence is so often framed by coherence and inertial systems of meaning. In "The Pages Practice", the two people place before one another questions of utmost sincerity, confusion and importance. Each page arrives quickly, spontaneously, without strategy or expectation, and within the limit of 10 - 15 minutes.
When the analytical mind is fully at rest - the page reveals unprecedented insights.

The Red Door
The Red Door is a meeting place of longing, presence, absence and pursuit. It is a love affair with the monastic rhythm — not as a place, but as calling. Cloisters stretch outward; corridors fold inward. At the center is the Red Door, glowing like a heartbeat. Elusive. Persistent. It beckons and retreats.
This work holds the tension of desire—to touch what cannot be grasped. There is no solace in the pursuit itself. The Red Door is never attained. It is not an entry or exit to an already configured space. It taunts you with promises that will never be tested.

Treating the Wound
Treating the Wound invites participants into the fragile space where sensation provokes memory. A small and still gushing watercolor, fastened down with medical tape, evokes the bandage of a wound— both care and ache. Participants touch this painted wound and recall a specific moment of hurt from their early years. With their non-dominant hand, they are asked to write what they would have wanted to say at that moment but didn’t.
A raw and unpolished demand for kindness or understanding. The bandage becomes a portal, bridging the physical and emotional. This work offers no resolution, only acknowledgment: of scars, silences, and the human capacity to live with hurt (big and small), and to accept in the smallest gestures, the potential for repair.

When the analytical mind is fully at rest - the page offers a void-space of impulse and insight.
