The World, 2020-2025
Acrylic and ink on cotton paper
21 x 29.7 cm
Origin piece (pre-dating the diptychs). An accidental spill of indigo ink on stretched watercolor paper in 2020 sat untouched for five years before being mapped with contour lines in 2025, establishing the method for the series.
Twin Studies is a series of diptychs structured around a shared spill of ink, either executed on two panels side by side, or pressed together as a single wash and divided. On top of the dried ink, I draw topographical lines, tracing a unique path across each half.
The Strait, 2026
Acrylic and ink on cotton paper
Diptych, 28.5 x 36.3 cm (each)
Variable installation configuration.
The work is modular. The panels can be rotated or re-sequenced to form different topographical narratives.
Titled after the Turkish word boğaz, which denotes both a narrow waterway and a human throat, the diptych references the physical restriction of voice and breath.

Material & Endurance Studies
Coral, 2026
Liquid watercolor and ink on handmade cotton paper

In Coral, the linework extends outward to blend into the paper’s deckle edges. I drew the pair in one continuous five-hour sitting.
Indigo Study, 2025
Acrylic ink on a removed journal page
Diptych, 19.4 x 18.7 cm (each)
This monochromatic indigo study tests mark-making and wash directions that look like a strait, which I kept for The Strait, even though I ultimately changed the color of the line to black.
