Here, the material becomes the core experience. The combination of burned paper and oxidized metal creates a surface that feels unstable and alive, where the image is pushed toward abstraction and slowly absorbed by the corroded background.
What emerges is not a clear representation, but a residue — a trace of something that once existed and is now in the process of disappearing. Time is physically enacted through burning, corrosion, and erosion.
This piece grows out of the same conceptual ground as my previous works, but here the process is taken to a more extreme level. Just like with the human body, the tension comes from this confrontation between presence and disappearance, between what the image once was and what the material has forced it to become.
The work is a visualization of impermanence and loss of control. The materials are not fully dominated but allowed to act and to leave their own marks. So then what remains is simply evidence of existence — scars, residues, and fragments shaped by time.
Personally, I think that the beauty of the work lies in this inevitability: accepting that erosion is not an accident, but the most honest state of being.
