Apricot - Green Tea - Cicada

19 x 13 in
Acrylic on paper
A visual-textual exploration that observes the friction between defined classifications and ambiguous states of matter. 

The text charts a movement from the structural, normative transition of ripening fruit to the translucent, chalky quality of green tea. 

This sensory progression culminates in the sharp contrast of a parching summer landscape—juxtaposing the weightless, non-temperature surface of a dead cicada against the heavy, weeping moisture of human clay. 

Through a minimal and unpunctuated rhythm, the work functions as a clinical record of physical presence and cessation.
