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

Scorpius expands outward, balancing gravity and reach.

Structure aligns body and constellation without symbol.

Traces mark passage, navigation, and deep time.

Memory holds what remains and releases what dissolves.

Transformation appears as widening, not rupture.

The work opens through presence rather than narrative.
