Shadow Archives

Painted in a season of shadow and revelation, these works embody its intensity — not only its anguish, but also its ecstasy. Created at the edge of extremes, they arise from the shadow’s full spectrum: its grief and euphoria, its ache and intoxication. In this period, the structures that once defined safety — home, relationship, work — had been released. What followed was a raw confrontation with freedom itself: the wild, unfiltered rhythm of being alive, where the shadow was no longer denied but invited to play. Each mark bears the residue of fire and crystal, smoke and light. They are fragments of chaos distilled onto canvas: both wound and alchemy, collapse and creation. Within the same gesture that breaks, something is also born — the shadow revealing not just pain, but pleasure as the pulse of life itself.
