Residual Tension is a series of large-scale, minimal paintings built around a single horizontal gesture.
A dense line in Prussian blue carries the weight of one decisive movement, placed within a deliberately open and silent surface.
The work does not focus on the act itself, but on what remains after the tension that lingers, restrained and unresolved.
The series originates from a personal confrontation with loss and the persistent feeling of being “too much,” of experiencing things too deeply.
Painting becomes a way to contain that intensity. During the process, control and stillness emerge, holding what would otherwise overflow.
These works are not meant to be decorative.
They are meant to be felt as a quiet, underlying tension that resists resolution.
