Layers of Becoming (2025) explores light as both a visual and symbolic presence, unfolding through layered acrylic, drawing, and fabric collage. Alongside the paintings, this section includes process photographs, sketches, and installation views that reveal how each work gradually emerged through reflection, layering, and the quiet evolution of form.
