ABOUT THE WORK
Artwork Description
An architectural study of decay and the beauty found in deterioration. The crumbling structures suggest how even in withering, new forms emerge, and how shadow can be both destructive and creative.

THE ARTIST'S VOICE
Interpretation / Story
The Withering Shade reads as a study of place, shelter, and atmosphere, the human figure, identity, and emotional presence, spirit, dream, and threshold imagery. The layered mixed-media surface turns image, texture, and material detail into a shadowed and introspective, luminous and prismatic atmosphere, inviting slow looking and a personal symbolic reading.
