Palimpsest of the Deep contemporary painting

Palimpsest of the Deep

30 x 48 x 1.5 in
Mixed media on canvas

​I created Palimpsest of the Deep to explore the shifting relationship between land, sea and time. It is built in layered marks and symbolic forms to reflect how landscapes transform and how human histories have been submerged, revealed, and reinterpreted across centuries. Inspired by ancient writing systems and archaeological discoveries, and addressing the rising sea levels, the work suggests that even information we leave behind may one day become fragments for future generations to decipher. 


Through pumice‑carved suns, hidden glyphs, and sediment‑like layers of paint, the piece becomes a visual time capsule - of what endures and what is lost in the deep.
