This series depicts the cosmos as an unfinished act — a world endlessly made and remade by those who carry the power to unmake, to rupture, and to begin again. Each image is a record of active agency in the fabric of creation: the moment where breaking births radiance, where grief seeds new constellations, where a single will can alter the sky. In these works, becoming is not a singular origin but an eternal return — a cycle in which we are both authors and instruments of what the world becomes next.

In Stories in Earth and Forest, the landscapes are not mere scenery; they are witnesses and storytellers.
Every rootline, stone, misted field, and shifting canopy carries the memory of what has grown, weathered, and returned to earth. These paintings trace the living dialogue between human breath and the breathing land—an animistic connection that remembers we were never separate from the wild.
The series moves between forest interiors and open meadows, mountain horizons and star-lit groves, revealing the quiet places where the earth seems to pause and listen. Light drifts through branches, roots reach like veins across soil, and grasses hold the shimmer of dawn and dusk: each scene a threshold where stories pass between the seen and unseen.
By painting these places as if they are still speaking—singing through bark, humming beneath moss, whispering through fog—Stories in Earth and Forest invites viewers to enter the landscape as kin: to feel the pull of ancestry in the soil and the pulse of the living world within themselves.

In the wild, nothing is passed forward by accident. Life continues because those who walked before us bend their bodies, their strength, their knowing, toward the ones who are not yet ready to stand alone. This is the first covenant of the living world: that power is not hoarded, but given — that the old spend themselves so the young may begin. Across species and seasons, the pattern holds. A mother lifts her young into sheltered branches, a guardian stands between danger and the new, a foal drinks the future from its mother’s body. No ceremony names these acts, yet they are the oldest rites we know — the rites by which a lineage remembers itself. Each generation alters what comes after it: through strength or neglect, through nurture or omission, through what is offered and what is withheld. In these animals we witness the pattern unbroken — the sacred responsibility to prepare a future we ourselves will not inhabit. This series is a witness to that vow — to the truth that the world we inherit is always the residue of someone’s choices, and the world that follows us will be shaped by our own.

Within the Breath of Light explores light not as background or atmosphere but as a living presence—an elemental current that moves through horizon, tide, cloud, and form. Rather than depicting objects illuminated by light, each work seeks to portray light itself as subject and protagonist: a force that reveals, transforms, and connects.

Figures and landscapes dissolve into thresholds where matter and spirit, sky and water, shadow and brilliance converge. Light is shown as something felt in the body, carried in the heart, and mirrored in the natural world—the shimmer across water, the breath of life and caressing wind, the radiance that gathers all things into relation and belonging.

The series traces the ways light can embody emotion and experience—expansive or tender, fierce or still. Light here is not bound to a single meaning but remains open to the fullness of human encounter: grief, hope, wonder, renewal, and beyond. Each work invites the viewer into communion with this presence—less as spectator than as participant—stepping across a threshold to feel themselves reflected within it.
