Pen and pencil drawing on resin in altered book with magnifying glass bookmark

The Pool of Pages, 2025

Carved into the center of this book, this artwork features a pool cast in resin—a frozen moment inviting quiet reflection. At its center floats a delicate drawing of a woman reclining on an inflatable, immersed in the pages of her book. The juxtaposition of the book's structured form and the stillness of the resin captures the serenity of losing oneself in both water and words.

This piece invites viewers to consider the balance of motion and stillness in the pursuit of escape and imagination, where stories and solitude intertwine.
