Beyond what we see

This series is born out of a thought- what if I strip my entire idea of trees and learn to truly see them as independent species. No colour, no texture, no details, just a being occupying space. There is more to them than what is seen. Spending hours sitting around them and observing them, I started asking the right questions. These works ask: what does the ‘will’ of a tree look like?

Through dense, rhythmic ink washes on paper, I intentionally remove colour and most descriptive details, allowing the tree to emerge primarily as a form occupying space. The surrounding marks become fields of movement, suggesting its invisible forces, its energy. Rather than depicting the tree as an object, these works attempt to capture its presence — the quiet but powerful energy of a living structure.

The storm in Charcoal

I have always believed in the power of charcoal to express something deeper than just being attractive. The subtle changes of landscape and its coinciding nature with our human emotions has been my subject of choice for this series. It is a set of charcoal sketches inspired by the various intense moments of my life and the emotions I felt during these. Strangely I have often found myself in nature and its majesty. My study of the term pathetic fallacy has led me to experience this deep connection with changing moods within me and those of the landscape around me.
