Memory does not behave like photography. It fades, reframes, forgets — and returns.

Echoes of Silence is a return to landscape as memory. Each work begins with a photograph I made myself — a landscape encountered, chosen, and carried back into the studio — and is transformed through a process of collage and layered time. The image is printed on 10gsm washi paper, almost translucent, responsive to touch, and mounted on raw canvas. Layers of plant-based acrylic partially veil the surface.

Slowly, the photograph dissolves into the material. The landscape becomes presence.

Small folds, tensions, irregularities remain visible. This is intentional. Memory is never a faithful replica of what we saw or felt. The fragility of the paper mirrors something we all carry.

This series grows from a deep concern for the natural world, and for the quiet disappearance of what once felt permanent. Each work is a slow gesture of attention, shaped by care and by the conviction that what we still have is worth holding on to. What remains is a trace. A meditation. A glimmer of hope.
