The drawings titled Conversations mark a gesture of retreat. They trace a movement away from the representational, the narrative, the textual - toward a pre-linguistic space. This is not merely a departure from the real in its bodily, earthly form, but a loosening of the visual grammar itself, the very structure upon which the act of art is built. What remains is a kind of resistance - temporary, and autonomous. A drawing that no longer asserts, but withdraws. A manifesto without an ideology, seeking emptiness in fullness, and fullness in emptiness.
The use of fragile paper, never meant to bear the weight of ink or pigment, pushes the surface to its threshold. At times, it ruptures. It breaks. The trace becomes a wound, the mark - a quiet remainder.
This body of work draws its breath from a philosophical space, from humanist thought where metaphysics meets the question of freedom. Here, drawing is reduced to a shell - directionless, emptied of purpose. A mental energy detached from idea, force without content. And yet, within the tangle of faint signs, something persists. A final possibility. The capacity to see the Other.
