Carefully incised layers of paper create a sculptural surface that shifts with perspective, casting subtle shadows and revealing depth beyond the plane of the wall. Each cut is intentional, contributing to a tactile pattern that feels both architectural and organic.

The surface is painted in richly blended hues - warm reds, pinks, golds, and amber tones - evoking a sense of movement and atmospheric change. Flecks of color and layered washes suggest light filtering through space, while the vertical flow guides the eye upward and downward in a quiet, meditative cadence.

As a one-of-a-kind, hand-worked piece, the artwork retains the presence of process: the physicality of cutting, the patience of layering, and the nuance of hand-applied paint. The result is a work that invites slow looking, where color, shadow, and texture interact to create a dynamic yet grounded visual experience.
