Description:
“Untitled Holy 22” is an abstract meditation on presence and concealment, built from successive layers of oil pastel, acrylic, and marker. Each medium asserts its own materiality while yielding to the next, producing a stratified surface that feels both deliberate and intuitive. The accumulation of marks suggests ritual — an act of construction and erasure, where meaning is not declared but unearthed through process.

The title invokes a sense of enigma: “holy” as a gesture toward reverence or fragility, “22” as a number suspended between symbolism and chance. Refusing to resolve into a fixed image, the work instead offers the viewer an open encounter with ambiguity — a charged field of color, texture, and intensity that resists interpretation even as it demands attention.
