A Big Bang

The world seems to be having a blast.

​​

In the fast pace of life today, I feel my drawings must be just as immediate. There’s no time for unnecessary decoration or overthinking. I need a direct line from my mind to the page. A way to quickly address the thoughts that press most heavily.

​

At a time when the news overwhelms us with violence, cruelty, and injustice, it feels right to respond with something small, a sign of human touch. Drawing, in its humility, is a way for me to face these horrors, to witness them without pretending I can solve or explain them.

 

My current process demands speed and clarity. How can I create the strongest impact in the shortest amount of time, without losing the tactility of working with materials or the satisfaction of a surface handled with care?

 

In some way, this need for immediacy feels like a reflection of the times we live in: fast, aggressive, with little room for deep reflection. Yet these blasts are stilled in time, a single image, a witness, perhaps.
