Solar Residue is a diptych tracing how modernist architecture turns into a remnant under the pressure of light, heat, and time. The rhythm of facades dissolves into a tactile surface—geometry not depicted, but worn down through layered acrylic, sand texture, and scraped palette-knife gestures. Burnt sienna reads like sun-scorch on concrete: it doesn’t illuminate form, it slowly consumes it. The work is not a building, but its afterglow—a residue of constructed order held in material memory.​
