Scatter
24” x 14” x 3.5”
In Scatter, there assembles a fragile ecosystem of paper, fragments, and texture—part reliquary, part elegy. Folded pages mimic lost intentions, while delicate spheres and muted hues evoke a sense of buried language and quiet drift. A deeply tactile meditation on what we preserve and what slips through our grasp.

Scatter is a quiet meditation on memory, entropy, and the fragmented nature of time. Torn, folded, and crumpled pages drift through the frame like thoughts barely held together. A circular dome—nestled in wrinkled parchment—anchors the lower portion, suggesting a celestial body or forgotten relic. Pearlescent beads dot the composition like punctuation or planetary bodies, while geometric folds of aged paper mimic fans, books, or wings. The work invites viewers to sift through the symbolic debris of human thought, ephemera, and organic decay.
