The Water Drawings

The Water Drawing series explores the tension between the tangible and intangible. Using marbling and sculpting to create ambiguous topographies that evoke gestures of digital interaction—such as swipes and scrolls on handheld devices—as well as organic forms like roots or sea floors. This ambiguity mirrors the disorienting experience of being swept along by the online world, where focus drifts, and we are subtly guided by the tides of algorithms—much like how waves shape the shore.


Central to the Water Drawing series is a reflection on water’s profound ability to connect. Water, as an element that has existed since Earth’s formation, carries the memories and resonances of every being that has encountered it. Touching water is like touching the past, offering a sense of continuity that links us to each other and our ancestors. By navigating the increasingly fluid threshold between the physical and the virtual, these works offer up contemplation on the politics of touch and the human hand’s role within these shifting realms.
