Dimensions of Being is a collection of paintings that explores the shifting forms of human existence. Moving between abstraction and figuration, the works trace how bodily presence, memory, and imagination shape our sense of who we are and who we might become.
Through color, texture, and gesture, faces, bodies, and embryonic shapes emerge, fragment, and reassemble. Their contours sometimes intertwine and sometimes dissolve into the surrounding paint. These forms suggest an identity still taking shape, marked by what we remember, what remains unresolved, and what continues to influence the present beyond our awareness.
This relationship with the past extends into our encounters with others. Expectations and inherited ways of seeing can shape how we inhabit our bodies and how we understand ourselves. The figures absorb and resist what surrounds them, continually redefining their contours as they search for a place within the composition.
Transformation also happens in the making of each painting. Layers accumulate, figures are erased or brought forward, and earlier compositions leave traces beneath the surface. A painting can hold several versions of itself, carrying something of what has disappeared into what becomes visible. This interplay between emergence and erasure echoes the way we carry earlier versions of ourselves into the present.
As familiar features give way to unfamiliar forms, the collection invites viewers to consider what persists through change and what can be imagined anew.
