Inspired by the Japanese tradition of Shou Sugi Ban, this mixed-media work explores the beauty of charred wood, weathered surfaces, and transformation through fire. Deep blackened textures contrast with mineral tones, raw pigments, and shimmering gold, creating a dialogue between destruction and renewal. The layered composition celebrates imperfection, resilience, and the quiet elegance of materials transformed by heat.
