Descent Series

Descent explores the inward pull of memory, dream, and consciousness—the slow immersion into the strata of the self. Like fragments recovered from a submerged reality, each painting evokes a moment of psychological excavation, where the familiar becomes distorted and meaning is unearthed through layers of abstraction and form.

This series continues my exploration of the human condition within internalized landscapes—spaces that are at once intimate and disorienting. Figures emerge and dissolve, embedded in color fields that feel both confining and infinite, echoing the unstable terrain of memory and perception. The title Descent speaks not to darkness, but to depth—a deliberate fall into thought, into feeling, into the unsolved questions that shape our lives.

In this work, I attempt to translate the language of dreams and interiority into a visual syntax—one that resists clarity in favor of honesty, embracing the fragmentation, vulnerability, and quiet resilience of the search for meaning.
