Still-life Invention No. 1

2025
Various pigments on wool felt.
29 x 21 cm

Still-life Invention No. 1 explores the tension between presence and erasure. An image of an uncarved stone, poised between becoming and disappearance, is printed onto natural wool felt, a material chosen for its softness, warmth, and quiet resistance. A single chroma key blue dot occupies the corner: a colour engineered not to be seen,
but to be removed. 

Here, it stands as both a mark of identity and a symbol of its erasure a body trying to belong by vanishing. The piece negotiates fractured subjectivity shaped by displacement and emotional inheritance. Its unresolved form does not seek completion, but insists on remaining in-between a subtle, persistent refusal to resolve into clarity.
