Archaic is a series that turns toward pre-verbal forms of memory.
Each work does not represent a narrative, but traces a structure of return — to matter, to rhythm, to the gesture from which all things begin.
This is not reconstruction, but an attempt to hold on to sensation before understanding — when form has not yet become image, and action not yet ritual.
The series is built in three layers:
traces of matter, practices of making, forms of witnessing.
It is a non-linear structure, where movement flows not forward, but inward — from the tangible to the present.

Archaica does not seek archaeology.
It is not about the past — it is about what remains alive within us but unspoken.
Form here does not explain — it grounds.
It brings attention back to an experience that is not yet articulated, but deeply embedded in matter.
The series explores the moments in which gesture becomes knowledge, trace becomes message, and silence becomes presence.

Each piece is created using a technique of emergence:
light and form are extracted from a darkened canvas using abrasive processes, without direct application.
This method preserves the primary density of material — not imposing form, but revealing what already exists within.
Form is minimal, rhythmic, restrained.
The palette is warm, earthen, ash-toned.
The canvas surface acts as a body that holds a trace — of gesture, effort, contact.
