My practice is centered on material and process-driven explorations of painting, with beeswax and pigment as core elements. I work with layering, absorption, and transformation, allowing materials to guide the development of each piece. The physicality of painting—its shifts, tensions, and the balance between permanence and change—plays a crucial role in my approach.
Working with fragile materials like wax and raw pigment has revealed their sensitivity to handling, temperature, and support. These material limitations have shaped how I think about preservation, display, and authorship. For my graduation presentation, I am showing a modular shelf installation that reflects this ongoing negotiation between control and surrender. The installation houses a variety of works, including rolled canvases, each developed through a unique "recipe" of techniques, pigments, and layered materials.
Influenced by archival aesthetics and preservation practices, the structure acts as both a physical and conceptual framework. It raises questions about how art is stored, displayed, and valued over time, while continuing my exploration of the relationship between materials, process, and meaning.
