Title: Whispers of Yesterday
Whispers of Yesterday (2025) is an exploration of memory, nostalgia, and the quiet persistence of history. Using layered papers, text, and acrylic, I create surfaces that hold the residue of time—echoes of culture and experience preserved within their textures. Each fragment carries a story: headlines, symbols, and patterns that once spoke of daily life now reimagined as artifacts of remembrance. The process of layering and concealment mirrors how memory functions—partial, selective, and endlessly rewritten. This work reflects my ongoing dialogue with time and transformation, honoring what fades while celebrating the traces that remain.
Postmodern Neo-Dada Definition
Postmodern Neo-Dada revisits the experimental spirit of mid-20th-century Neo-Dada through a contemporary lens. Characterized by layering, collage, and the use of found imagery or text, it explores themes of memory, time, and cultural fragmentation. Artists working in this mode transform everyday materials into poetic meditations on history, identity, and meaning within an age of information and impermanence.
