Echo draws on the classical myth of Echo and Narcissus, reimagined within a dense woodland landscape. Branches radiate outward from the fallen trunk of a tree, spreading across the surface of the painting like a network of voices or reverberations. The composition feels both expansive and entangled, suggesting the way sound, memory and longing can travel through space without ever fully resolving.
Working in layers of oil, acrylic and oil bar, the surface shifts between moments of clarity and dissolution. Moss-covered limbs, reflective greens and deep earthy tones merge with gestural marks and scraped passages, allowing the forest to feel both observed and psychological. The fallen tree becomes a kind of conduit through which presence echoes and disperses, reflecting the myth of Echo herself—condemned to repeat the voices of others, lingering within the landscape long after the original call has faded.
