Based on a quiet moment beneath a tree, Shadow Patterns explores how shifting light can alter perception. The figure is partially obscured by the shadows of leaves, creating a surface that feels both present and unstable. What begins as a recognizable scene slowly dissolves into pattern, where body and ground become difficult to separate.
A painting drawn from a family photograph, Charline Motel explores immigrant arrival, shared nostalgia, and the everyday rituals of travel and belonging.
