Trace

Trace is a study of perception — a hybrid visual language where photographic fragments become architectural diagrams, and linework reveals the hidden structure inside the world.

Each artwork begins with real photographs: textures, objects, architectural details, or natural fragments. These images are arranged as intentional collages — quiet, asymmetric, evocative. Over them, precise linework unfolds: topographic contours, orthographic projections, and geometric extrapolations that reinterpret the photograph’s form.

Trace sits between blueprint and sketchbook, between fine-art print and architectural analysis. It is a dialogue between what is seen and what is understood.

Dust

Dust is a study in chalk, pigment and breath — abstract forms arranged like quiet mathematics.

Circles, lines and woven geometries drift across soft paper textures, fading at the edges as if they were drawn and erased a hundred times before settling into their final shape. Some pieces feel like blueprints, others like constellations or half-remembered maps, but all of them carry the same powdered calm: the hush of chalk hanging in the air.

Remanence

Remanence is a study of the human face recorded as light over time.

Each work depicts a recognisably human facial form rendered as a sparse spatial point cloud and subjected to long‑exposure spectral recording. Motion across the exposure produces temporal echoes — red‑shift and blue‑shift afterimages that reveal the face at different moments in time.

These are not portraits. They are residual impressions: what remains of form once time, movement, and wavelength have been allowed to interfere.
