Silent Marks
Spring/Summer 2026

“Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.” — William Penn

We spend our lives chased by time—dragged, measured, and often fearing it. Wrinkles, erosion, fading colors, and worn surfaces feel like reminders of what we cannot control. Yet, when I looked closer, I found beauty in what time leaves behind.
 

The chaos, the wash-outs, the distortions, even the quiet ticking—time carves silent marks. It reshapes objects, softens edges, and imprints life onto surfaces. What once felt like decay reveals itself as growth: wrinkles that speak of living, weathered textures that hold memory, clock hands that turn moments into form, and surreal distortions that remind us of time’s mystery.

​

This collection seeks to transform the perception of time—from something that provokes fear and urgency into something to be embraced. Instead of rushing to escape it, I want to slow it down, to honor the marks it leaves, to see them not as losses but as gifts. Silent Marks is a celebration of time’s quiet artistry, of beauty revealed not in what resists time, but in what surrenders to it.
