Friday evening | Through the Blur series

Mixed media on paper 

Through the Blur is a series born from moments glimpsed through rain-streaked glass—where clarity gives way to softness, and the world reshapes itself in fluid forms. I chose subjects seen behind rainy windows as a metaphor for transformation: nothing remains fixed, everything morphs. The shifting light, the colors of the surroundings, even the angle of the viewer all alter what is seen—reminding us that perception is reality. In this series, ambiguity becomes expression, and distortion becomes truth.

A Note
Much of my work is highly tactile and reflective—its appearance shifts with changes in light, angle, and the viewer’s position. As a result, color and contrast can vary significantly, making it nearly impossible to maintain perfect consistency across photographs and videos. If you notice differences between images of the same piece, this is both expected and intentional.
