Reflection

A tactile and contemplative exploration where handmade papers, intricate stitching, and shifting layers of light and shadow reveal hidden depths. Inspired by the ebb and flow of perception, this work invites you to pause, observe, and engage with the delicate balance between presence and absence, seen and unseen.

A delicate interplay of paper, stitch, and light. Layers unfold to reveal shifting perspectives, inviting you to pause, look closer, and explore what lies beneath the surface.

THEME: Reflections, moonshine in water, contemplation, meditation, mirror image.

INSPIRATION: The act of writing allows societies to transmit information and share knowledge. Asemic writing is a wordless open semantic form of writing – writing as an illegible, abstract and wordless mark making. The signs and symbols we create in order to communicate – iconographic symbols, mnemonics, graphemes, rebus, alphabets – all marks made on a surface in order to communicate. But these signs and symbols only communicate to someone who understands them or who can interpret these marks – to anyone else they are just unintelligible squiggle.

“A line is a dot that went for a walk”.
Paul Klee

“I believe, somewhere in the pause between writing, seeing and feeling is the silent electric current found in the heart – the soundtrack of the human body.
I think that asemic scriptis the manifestation of that inner wiring, and once tuned into it, one can hear the deep innate sentiment that everyday language doesn’t have the words for. Asemic writing is a prototype to express a deeper feeling”.
Sam Roxas-Chua

“Here is writing that is entirely open to the world, a poetry that generously refuses to delimit the human experience or accept what is known.”
Sandra Alcosser

“A squiggle is a short line that curls and loops in an irregular way”. Oxford Dictionary
