Submission Painting

Uncharted Strata

I learned landscapes by leaving them. Moving across seven countries and five continents, I came to understand place through arrival and loss—not as fixed geography, but as a container for ambiguous grief.

My work occupies the space between perception and recollection. I use the visual grammar of landscape—horizons, atmospheric distance, geological features—while withholding what makes a place locatable. Recognition arrives before certainty.

Watercolor materializes this instability: pigment migrates, edges dissolve, and forms emerge between intention and accident. As detail dissipates, memory compresses distance and invents continuity. These landscapes belong to no single geography: they are fragments of remembered places, reassembled as cohesive terrain.

What memory cannot preserve, it reconstructs. My work asks what remains.
