What the Walls Remember (2024) explores how memory resides in surface and texture. I layer acrylic and charcoal marks to evoke the patina of time—walls that have absorbed stories, laughter, and silence. Each gesture builds upon another, creating a rhythm of concealment and revelation. The contrast of bold structure and soft erosion mirrors how recollection shifts—some memories sharp, others fading into abstraction. Through this piece, I reflect on presence and absence, on what remains after experience has weathered away. It’s a meditation on endurance and transformation—the ways in which even silent walls can remember what we’ve forgotten.
Style / Movement:
What the Walls Remember belongs to the tradition of Contemporary Abstract Expressionism, infused with elements of Material Abstraction and Postminimalism. Through textured surfaces, layered gesture, and restrained palette, the work reflects on time, memory, and the quiet endurance of human presence embedded within material and mark.
