This series of small abstract works marks an intentional pivot toward a quieter, more distilled visual language within my practice. While abstraction has long been an undercurrent in my work, these pieces function as focused studies—experiments in form, rhythm, and restraint. Stripped of overt iconography and narrative references, they lean into the materiality of laser-cut acrylic and the tensions created through industrial hardware and layered color. These works are not departures but extensions—exploring how abstraction can hold emotional weight, cultural residue, and spatial complexity even in the absence of easily legible symbols. In a moment defined by noise and acceleration, this body of work explores stillness, nuance, and the poetics of reduction.

Untitled (Basket) offers a soft architecture of care and containment. The notched grid backing evokes woven forms and modular design, while the pale pink palette lends the piece a sense of tenderness and approachability. A curved arc near the bottom hints at a handle or an opening—a gesture toward utility without fully defining it. At the top, a small square of rattan encased in cast acrylic nods directly to basketry traditions, grounding the work in histories of craft, labor, and domesticity. Suspended between material familiarity and abstract form, the piece suggests a kind of holding that is both structural and symbolic—a quiet meditation on what we carry, protect, or pass on.
