This painting holds the tension between the vulnerability of exposure and the quiet strength required to surrender.

Created in an open-air studio, the work carries the trace of conditions that could not be controlled—heat, wind, rain, and time. Rather than resisting them, the surface became a place of negotiation, allowing interruption, erosion, and softness to become part of the painting.

Somewhere between landscape and body, Exposure and Surrender reflects on the ways we are shaped by what we cannot avoid. It suggests that surrender is not passive, but deeply attentive: a way of listening, adapting, and allowing transformation to take place.
