Echoes of Silence
Memory does not behave like photography. It fades, reframes, forgets and returns -layered, incomplete, never a faithful replica of what we saw or felt.
Echoes of Silence begins here. Each work starts with a landscape - seen, chosen, photographed - then printed on translucent 10gsm washi paper and mounted on (raw) canvas. Layers of (plant-based) acrylic paint soften and partially veil the image, until the landscape dissolves into the surface, becoming less a photograph and more a presence. Small folds, tensions and irregularities remain visible. A quiet refusal of perfection.
The washi paper is chosen with care - almost weightless, responsive to touch and time, much like nature itself. Much like memory. It holds the image gently, without insisting.
Beneath the stillness of these works lies a deep concern for what is quietly disappearing from our world. Echoes of Silence is a soft resistance - slow gestures shaped by empathy and the conviction that a more compassionate world is still possible.
These works speak without words. They remember. And remind.
