Through the act of drawing, the lines transform into a form of materiality—an embodied density capable of carrying moments that extend beyond words. It holds the traces of time, fragments of memory, and fleeting moments. The drawn line becomes a vessel for time and space, as well as a medium for language. The collection of observational drawings created during travels, alongside preparatory sketches made before the realization of finished works offer something more intimate from the drawing process, emphasizing the subtlety and closeness that a drawing practice nurtures.
