This piece captures a moment of balance between creation and dissolution, evoking the tension between presence and impermanence. At its core, my work explores the intricate relationships between memory, time, and transformation. I am drawn to the ways in which patterns—physical, emotional, or conceptual—emerge, shift, and ultimately dissolve. These dynamics reflect the nature of open systems, which exist in states of constant exchange and evolution. The concept of dissipative structures informs my practice, as I am captivated by the ways in which systems self-organize through the flow of energy and matter. These structures balance the forces of entropy and order to sustain their form—until they eventually dissolve. This piece mirrors such processes, holding a momentary equilibrium while embracing the inevitability of transformation. Memory lies at the heart of this inquiry, not as a static archive but as a fragile and active process shaped by the passage of time. While often associated with the past, memory is fundamentally about the present—a dynamic act of reconstructing and reinterpreting experiences to make sense of the current moment. Like an open system, memory evolves through its interactions, balancing coherence and entropy to sustain itself even as it changes. Just as memory fades, fragments, and reconfigures, so too does this work, inviting viewers to engage with its shifting forms and meanings. Entropy, often seen as a destructive force, becomes a creative engine in my work. It dissolves old structures, enabling new ones to emerge, transforming impermanence into a generative space where meaning arises. By witnessing the evolution of patterns, I embrace the beauty and complexity that arise from the process. Through gradients, patterns, and material interactions, I create visual languages that reflect these ideas. Gradients suggest both continuity and change, echoing the subtle shifts that define our experience of time. Patterns represent the frameworks we use to impose order in a chaotic world, frameworks constantly subject to reconfiguration by entropy. Ultimately, my work is a meditation on the fragile balance between permanence and flux. It invites the viewer to linger in the in-between spaces—where memories blur, time stretches and contracts, and meaning feels both tangible and elusive. In these spaces, I hope to capture something of what it means to exist: a perpetual negotiation between holding on and letting go.
