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

Noirka is built as permeable structure.

Lines pass through rather than contain.

Identity forms through exchange, not control.

Openness carries cost as well as connection.

The work mirrors state rather than declaring balance.

Meaning shifts as boundaries are tested.
