Held in Smoke, 2025

Charcoal on paper

Held in Smoke is a series of charcoal drawings completed daily over the course of February. Each drawing began with a cardboard cut-out figure, with the intention of evoking the sense of a motif. The cutouts, predominantly depicting headless male torsos, were traced, retraced, and adapted using charcoal. Smudging and staining, charcoal served as a contradictory measure, resisting the rigidity of the cutouts.

Significantly influenced by heightened social and political unrest, the drawings reflect on the search for agency amid forces that work to contain it.
