This series of intimate relief paintings invites viewers into the cracks and crevices of rock formations that shelter dwellings. These imagined sanctuaries position the rock as both witness and protector, a shield against potential surface fallout. The work grapples with the paradox of human destruction of the environment, proposing a quietly speculative world in which the earth, despite harm inflicted upon it, continues to offer refuge.
