ALo
(2023)
Carved paper, mixed media on wood panel
40 x 30 in
Cracks in the Temple series

ALo opens unevenly under pressure.

Inherited structure still holds, but no longer contains.

Strength develops inside motion rather than stability.

Tenderness and abrasion remain side by side.

The composition refuses resolution.

The figure asks to be seen while still forming.
