The Queen of Leukai
(2023)
Carved paper, mixed media on wood panel
40 x 30 in
Cracks in the Temple series

The Queen of Leukai stands in stillness without retreat.

Power arrives through visibility, not force.

The figure opens rather than shields.

Marks on the surface register contact, not damage.

Strength reads as endurance and alertness.

The work holds space, and the room adjusts.
