ELSEWHERE (2026)

Acrylic on canvas
215 x 200 cm

ELSEWHERE explores the intersection of architecture, landscape and memory. Monumental geometric forms suggest fragments of buildings, pathways and distant terrain, while shifts in scale and perspective create the feeling of a place remembered rather than observed. A restrained palette of stone, muted blue, olive and ochre is held together by precise black linework, balancing structure with a sense of quiet ambiguity.
