Margaritari
(2023)
Carved paper, mixed media on wood panel

Cracks in the Temple series

Margaritari holds its ground through precision.

Order functions as identity, not defense.

Connection is acknowledged, then contained.

Distance is deliberate. Boundaries are exacting.

The work does not ask to be entered.

It asks to be witnessed.
