Aftertrace

2026
Mixed media on canvas
60 × 48 in.

Aftertrace, the final painting in Voyage de Sabur, revisits the gestural language established at the beginning of the series through a more open composition. Fragments of writing, sweeping black marks, and passages of yellow and blue remain suspended within a predominantly white surface, where accumulation gives way to greater intervals of space.

Rather than suggesting arrival or resolution, the painting reflects a state after intensity. Experience persists as traces, while meaning remains open, incomplete, and continually subject to change.
