This piece, titled Gate of the Deep Forest, explores the mysterious threshold between the known and the unknown in nature. Using a degummed monoprint technique with peach gum and gum arabic, the artwork captures organic textures reminiscent of moss, bark, and filtered light through dense foliage. The central luminous opening suggests a portal inviting viewers to step into an imagined forest realm. Influenced by abstract expressionism and natural forms, the work balances control and chance, allowing the interaction of water-based adhesives and pigments to create spontaneous, layered effects.
