​​Through a variety of lithography printing techniques, this artwork depicts a vast, living epidermis etched with countless textures and hues.

The desert from above unfolds like skin: weathered, scarred and inscribed with the memories of its past. I sought to render it as an intimate close-up of pseudo-human flesh - tactile, vulnerable, and deeply intertwined - inspired by the New Mexico (USA) desert. Arid ridges rise like veins, while cracked earth and shifting sands resemble a subtle palette of bruised and sunburned skin. Half-melted letters cling to the corners of the print in a futile attempt to hold it on the wall.

They can be read as TO MATTER - a last attempt to be relevant.

​

This piece was created during my residency in spring 2023 at Tamarind Institute, New Mexico (USA).
