Brittle

In this work, hundreds of layers of wax, oil, and resin accumulate on paper — like the deposits of a body that carries history. The surface evokes stone: cracked, resistant, marked by time.

Through deliberate breaking, tearing, and stabilizing, a topographic structure emerges — a painted body that speaks of pressure, wounding, and transformation. The surface becomes skin, archive, political landscape.

In its dense materiality, the work resists smooth storytelling.

Instead, a feminist visual language emerges — one shaped by processes of covering, forgetting, and re-appearance.

This work stands as a resistance to linear narratives and invites a rereading of marks and inscriptions: as stories of bodies, of violence, of survival — and of a beauty that refuses to be smoothed over.
