Come Closer II (2026)

Come Closer is a collection that explores light, reflection, and quiet encouragement through an intuitive process of gliding imitation leaf and sealing the surface with resin. The gestures are organic and unforced, allowing curves to form naturally as the material responds to movement rather than strict planning. Some works are presented in pairs, often in slightly different sizes. These pairings are not meant to be identical, but conversational—each piece reflecting and responding to the other while maintaining its own presence. Other works in the collection stand alone, reinforcing the idea that connection does not require uniformity or symmetry. The reflective resin surface plays an essential role in the work. As viewers shift their position and move closer, the paintings subtly transform, mirroring their surroundings and incorporating light, space, and presence into the surface. This interaction invites a moment of pause and attentiveness, encouraging both visual and emotional reflection. The intention behind Come Closer is to offer reassurance without excess explanation. Rather than presenting a fixed narrative, the works remain open—suggesting continuity, resilience, and the persistence of light. Through stillness, variation, and quiet movement, the collection encourages a gentle engagement, inviting the viewer to slow down and experience the work through proximity and presence.
