For me, the beauty of any phenomenon begins at the moment of its absence. When I grow accustomed to something as I live with it, something within me slowly subsides, and the wonder of things diminishes. Each person responds differently to this absence. Most people prefer to move on and let it fade into forgetfulness.
But for me, seeing the empty space left by those I have loved is a pure experience of life. Absence and longing—what a strange and delicate relationship exists between these two. The absence of people makes me yearn for them, and my deep, persistent longing for them vividly reveals the painful void of their presence before my eyes.
This absence, filtered through my longing, manifests itself in the form of paintings.
Paintings for someone who don’t know me.
