A forest bathed in an ethereal glow stretches endlessly, its skeletal trees reaching like veins against a dusky sky. Shades of deep crimson and electric pink bleed into the scene, blurring the boundary between reality and memory. Two figures move along a worn path‚ ahead, the other trailing behind, outlined as if existing between presence and absence. Their forms, ghostlike yet grounded, suggest a quiet journey through time, where past and present converge in layered textures and hues. The interplay of photography, painting, image transfer and drawing transforms this landscape into a dreamscape, evoking themes of solitude, passage, and the traces we leave behind.
