THE WAITING EARTH
Paintings, 2026

The Waiting Earth imagines people returning to nature, not simply surrounded by it, but becoming part of it again. Each work captures a fleeting encounter: a figure waiting beneath a tree, a body dissolving into water, a gorilla standing in silence, and a gaze lost in the wild. These are moments of unity, survival, waiting, and memory.

Through figurative painting, expressive brushwork, and layered textures, the works move between representation and abstraction. Figures emerge from and disappear into their environments, reflecting a complicated relationship with the natural world that sustains us. Earth tones, water hues, and seasonal shifts create a landscape suspended between harmony and tension.
