DESCRIPTION

Ink and Charcoal on Fabriano paper
9¾ × 6¾ in
2025

Drawing on Goya’s Disasters of War (1810–1820) and responding to the current cycle of violent media imagery, these works aim to connect mark-making to the emotional and psychological anxieties of our time. Using charcoal, a malleable medium, and line, the drawings form through a process of layering washes, mark-making, wiping, and erasure—gestures that resist recognition and aim to speak what cannot be expressed. Both personal and political, the drawings stand as a visual protest against violence and apathy.
