SPOLIA
This series explores the complex interplay between past and present, examining how objects of significance are absorbed and transformed over time. Drawing inspiration from the architectural term 'spolia' - referring to repurposed artifacts in new constructions - this body of work delves into themes and liminal spaces between worlds.
'Spolia’ reflects on the universal human experience of connection and disconnection - from one's past, present, or self. Layers and fragments of time, memory, and environment intertwine.
chapter III
Here, Spolia operates through intersecting and twisting lines that accumulate and cross one another. The revealed texture and unfinished edges mark the points where forces press against their limits, exposing the boundary between intentional structure and what cannot be controlled.

chapter II
The in-between is reduced to its essential form: two lines in relation. They mark the position of a self shaped by opposing forces—at once belonging, and at the same time holding distance, both “a part of” and “apart from.”

chapter I
Spolia begins as a meditation on displacement—what it feels like to be in-between. I draw from the reuse of historical objects and symbols, taken from one context and given another, reshaped by an intention never recognized.
