My art practice is deeply shaped by my background in architecture. I often draw on the tools and methods from architecture school; linework, spatial thinking, and a focus on environmental questions all play a central role in how I build an image.
This piece leans especially into that influence. A more monochromatic composition is interrupted by yellow trace paper (an architectural sketching staple) amplified through hand-drawn hatching in the same tone. From a distance, the texture nearly disappears; up close, it reveals a subtle accumulation that speaks to time and collectivity.
Traditionally, this kind of hatching appears in black, marking a cut through solid mass or ground plane. Here, that logic is inverted: the yellow becomes something lighter, almost suspended, floating within the grit and structure that surrounds it.
