Void II

The Void centers on the idea of existing in the in-between moments that emerge between chapters of life. The paintings reflect the experience of knowing that a certain era has closed, while what comes next has not yet revealed itself. There is a quiet discomfort in this state, a feeling of being caught between what was and what will be, yet also an understanding that this pause is part of a larger passage. The work treats this space not as emptiness, but as a necessary interval, where transition is felt before it is understood. The paintings are built through a restrained, concentrated palette and carefully controlled compositions that emphasize emptiness, distance, and spatial ambiguity. Large areas of open space create a sense of pause, while subtle shifts in color and texture guide the eye without offering resolution. The geometric forms of doorways serve as markers of transition rather than destinations. The recurring rectangular motif of a doorway filled with white light signals the next chapter, a threshold that will eventually be crossed but remains just out of reach. In contrast, filled-in square often appears as a closed door, marking the space just exited. In some of these pieces, strips of paper bearing handwriting and/or flowers are embedded into the work, carrying personal questions, fragments of thought, and lived moments drawn directly from time spent inhabiting the same in-between space depicted on the canvas.
