Layers of Time

This piece reflects the resilience of creation and the layered nature of identity. At its foundation lies a complex pattern, built from a deeply-layered combination of motifs I have created over years—hand-drawn and computationally generated, repeatedly refined and reimagined. The directional blur flows through these layers like time itself, shifting and transforming the surface while never erasing what lies beneath.

Above this, speckled stars rotate softly, evoking cycles of time, light, and quiet persistence. These details, along with the flowing fabric texture that marks my signature, tie together multitudes of fragments of my artistic history into something both new and deeply familiar.

This piece exists as a conversation between past and present, where earlier works repeatedly become the building blocks of something more intricate and alive. It speaks to the beauty of continuity—how nothing is ever truly lost, but instead deepens and strengthens with each reimagination. It echoes the way in which every step in our journey, while it may not be clear at the time, is a building block toward our future.

Through its layers and textures, this work invites viewers to reflect on their own stories: how time, history, and experiences intertwine to create resilience, complexity, and enduring beauty.
