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.

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.

Caustic

Caustic is a study in purity under assault. Minimal geometric forms — circles, squares, bars, planes — placed against soft neutral fields. Perfect shapes eroded by chemical light, corroded edges, pigment burn, structural decay, and caustic dissolution.

Every token is a meditation on tension: order versus breakdown, geometry versus entropy, serenity versus corrosion. A single shape becomes a battlefield for chemical destruction.
