Entangled was created from layers of vintage paper, handmade paper, ink, encaustic, and linen. Archival human faces gather together to form a tree-like structure that moves through the surface like a collective body, carrying traces of memory, history, and time. The figures merge and dissolve into one another, suspended between growth and fracture, presence and disappearance.

Fields of ink and encaustic drift across the work like weather, water, smoke, or changing terrain. Wax both conceals and preserves the surface, allowing fragments to emerge slowly as though held beneath layers of atmosphere and memory. The materials themselves continue to shift over time. Paper softens, wax clouds and clears, surfaces absorb traces of touch and age, echoing the instability and vulnerability of the environments the work reflects upon.

Rather than depicting climate change directly, Entangled considers the ways human lives remain bound to ecological systems across generations. The work suggests that histories do not exist separately from landscape but move through it, accumulate within it, and leave lasting impressions upon it. Faces become roots, branches, currents, and networks of interconnection, reminding us that the boundaries between body, environment, and memory are far more porous than we often imagine.
