Propagation

Propagation is a series of intimate works in which I explore the architecture of memory and imagination through semi-abstract cityscapes between reality and dreamspace. Using materials such as gouache, ink, charcoal, and digital methods, I create urban landscapes that seem to pulse with their own organic rhythm. Each piece invites viewers to wander through these impossible yet familiar territories, where architectural elements dance between abstraction and recognition, creating a continuous dialogue between structure and fluidity, permanence and change.

Artist Statement: My multi-disciplinary practice is the result of fascination with how systems— both natural and constructed— interweave to create complex tapestries of connection and flow. Through various media, I seek to capture the metaphysical essence of these networks, rendering them not as they appear to the eye, but as they exist in memory and dream.

​I am especially drawn to the dialogue between order and entropy: the tension between geometric precision and organic growth, between structured patterns and spontaneous evolution. My compositions emerge through an interplay of controlled technique and intuitive creation, allowing each piece to develop its own ecosystem of forms and rhythms.
​
In my work, I map the invisible architectures of our world, inviting viewers to explore these familiar yet otherworldly landscapes through the lens of their own memories and imagination.
