Presence reflects an ongoing interest in interiority as both a physical site and an emotional terrain. The piece examines the moments when the boundary between self and space becomes indistinct, when an environment shifts from being a passive backdrop to an active container for memory, longing, and transformation. The painting occupies a quiet moment where something internal comes into focus, and the self becomes newly visible within the spaces it inhabits. By merging personhood with environment, the viewer is invited to feel their own traces in a room, to notice where they have been, and where they might begin again.
