Fragments of shoreline memory assemble across a matte field of black iron oxide and layered acrylic, where ceramic shards and a granular sprinkling of porcelain “sand” punctuate the surface like relics unearthed after a tide. Textural shifts—from the delicate coarseness of the porcelain grit to the solid planes of painted board—invite close inspection and lend the composition a quiet archaeology, suggesting stories of journeys, breakage, and gentle reclamation by the sea.
