I Am depicts found objects severed from life: fallen leaves, withered flowers, insects frozen in time. Working from observation, the artist paints the fragility of shell-like subjects in watercolor, letting them float without perspective or constructed space, held instead in the field of the negative space drawn from traditional East Asian painting. That same space stands for the universe itself, holding every being equally, without hierarchy or preference. The series sits with the intimacy of death in daily life, and what might exist beyond body and mind, leaving room to contemplate impermanence, and find some ease in the shared unknown we’re all headed toward.
