Inspirations
Emotional Starting Point
The emotional gravity of the California wildfires — fear, awe, loss — served as my conceptual entry point. I aimed to visually communicate this psychological weight through expressive textures, tonal extremes, and abstraction.
Expressive Potential of Printmaking
Inspired by the physicality and unpredictability of printmaking, I used each technique not just for form but as metaphor— carving as destruction, pressing as pressure, ink as smoke.
Influence & Dialogue
Drawing inspiration from Jasper Johns and my own previous abstract work, I created a dialogue between recognizable motifs (e.g., flames, trees, smoke) and altered, abstracted imagery — echoing the duality of fire as both beautiful and devastating.
