Part of a series of graphite meditation paintings created during a period of field-based research along the Costa da Morte in Galicia, Spain. Working directly in the landscape, often in shifting weather and quiet, extended observation, the drawings emerge through a process of attention rather than representation.

Rather than fixed depictions, the works hold traces of movement, wind, and time—responding to the rhythm of the environment as it unfolds. Marks accumulate, dissolve, and re-form, mirroring the instability and interconnection of coastal systems. The graphite allows for both precision and erasure, making visible a process of searching, sensing, and adjusting in real time.

Rooted in an ongoing practice of “meditation painting,” these works function as a form of primary research—an embodied way of understanding place through sustained presence. The Costa da Morte, with its layered histories, ecological complexity, and constant negotiation between land and sea, becomes both subject and collaborator.

Taken together, the drawings are less about capturing what is seen and more about engaging with how we come to see—inviting a slower, more attentive relationship with the natural world.
