Family on Paper (6)

This series returns to a childhood moment when everything was burning and the adults kept smiling.
It reflects the silence that follows trauma — the learned habit of appearing fine while something essential is lost beneath the surface.

Each work is created using both traditional and digital techniques, exploring the fragile threshold between memory and modern myth.

Every painting begins as a digital image, broken down into code and painted by a machine through 28 hand-mixed layers of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black — a mechanical gesture slowly turning memory back into matter.

I work with machines to explore what remains human in the act of making — to translate memory into code and then back into matter, searching for the trace of care that endures behind the algorithm.
