Layered Traces

Echoes of Memory, Fragments of Time

Artist Statement

My work begins with curiosity and an impulse to explore. I’ve always been drawn to the idea of breaking away from conventional methods—of blurring the lines between printmaking and painting, structure and spontaneity. Using everyday objects instead of traditional plates, I create collagraphy-based prints that blend collage, texture, and rhythm.

Rather than following a strict process, I let intuition lead. I enjoy discovering moments where opposites meet—where the direct and indirect, visible and invisible, come together to form something unexpected.

Each piece is a reflection of how I experience the world: layered, emotional, and always shifting. Music often inspires me—it helps me express the intangible through color, line, and movement. For me, printmaking is not about repetition, but about transformation. Every layer, every mark is part of a larger rhythm that mirrors how I feel, think, and navigate the space between clarity and ambiguity.
