Road trip

The car becomes a temporary place of protection, a moving space where time seems to soften. Childhood journeys are not just transfers from one place to another, but small experiences of safety, intimacy, and freedom at once. The view from the window, the music, the voices of adults, and the ease of falling asleep come together into a nostalgic memory of a world in motion that never feels threatening.

On the Work

The face is shaped through a more gestural approach, where colour does not serve a purely descriptive role but a tonal one. Subtle shifts in colour are combined with charcoal, which introduces intensity and material presence to the surface. Its marks do not remain as drawing alone, but become texture, adding weight and depth to the perception of the image.
