The leaf-like brush strokes were transformed from sumi-e paintings, into peeled photographs. This is a process of constant change of the image, involving mystery and discovery. Peeling the thin emulsion surface of the photograph with a knife reveals the white paper underneath. The leaf-like cuts play with the black and white shade and light in the photograph and create a new rhythmic movement and a new order within a given landscape. It is a process of destruction and creation that takes place simultaneously. It is a transverse process to painting. The whiteness is exposed so the absent becomes present.
