Concept:

The Seasons draws on Japanese and Chinese painting traditions, where the cycles of nature and passage of time are conveyed through observation, brushwork, and composition. Using Direct Gravure on Kitakata paper, I translate these sensibilities into a contemporary, process-driven practice. Layered textures, repeated marks, and tonal shifts evoke light, atmosphere, and seasonal change, allowing material and gesture to accumulate like memory. The work creates a dialogue between tradition and experimentation, connecting meditative engagement with nature to explorations of impermanence, rhythm, and the layered experience of time.
