This body of work uses acrylic paint and air-dry clay to depict how fleeting, first impressions evolve over time into more complex, gradual understandings of the landscape and its surroundings. Each composition features a vivid central scene rendered in acrylic, surrounded by a softly textured, clay-sculpted field. This dimensional surface interacts with shifting, natural light and the boldness of the paint, highlighting a dialogue about memory, perception, time and beauty. By bridging these elements, we slow down, engage more closely, and experience a fuller understanding of what is being seen.
