Burning Home (7)
Families sit before burning homes, their calm untouched by the fire. Each work traces that moment between awareness and denial — a dialogue between memory, distance, and the fragile need to appear unbroken.

This series returns to the image of families and children watching a house burn — scenes where catastrophe unfolds quietly, and no one moves.
It reflects the strange poise of denial, that learned stillness in the face of loss.
Each work is created through both digital and mechanical processes, translating synthetic images into motion, and motion into pigment —
exploring how images allow us to witness what we cannot bear to feel.
Every painting begins as a decomposed image, rebuilt through code and painted by a machine in hand-mixed layers of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.
In the repetition of each line, a mechanical gesture becomes something almost human — an act of watching, mirroring the very stillness it depicts.
I work with machines to understand that distance — the space between what we see and what we can truly feel, between recognition and response, between the burning and the silence that follows.
