Monotype on Rives BFK
In a gallery’s stark light, two monotypes faced each other. One, wrinkled and flesh-colored, bore the scars of time—every crease a testament to its journey. Next to it, the flat print mirrored the first, perfectly two-dimensional, yet devoid of the character etched by age.
As observers leaned in, the textures told stories of resilience and vulnerability. Skin pressed against glass; one artifact lived, the other reproduced.
In a world swollen with information, these images were clones of reality, each revealing how time alters perception. Different yet the same, they whispered of existence, a dialogue between depth and simplicity, life and imitation.
