Grain of Space
Grain of Space is a painting project that explores perception at a threshold where spatial logic is still present, yet no longer functions as a coherent or reliable system.
The project is built around one large-scale painting and four modular works that operate as fragmented states of a single visual field. Together they form a unified system that does not resolve into a stable image, remaining in a state of tension between recognition and disintegration.
Perspective appears, accelerates, and then fails to converge. Rhythm intensifies until it exceeds coherence. Painterly marks function as material pixels — tactile fragments of paint that simultaneously construct spatial structure and undermine its continuity. Through this process, painting becomes not a means of representation, but a mechanism through which instability is produced and sustained.
Rather than depicting a specific place, the project captures a condition of perception: the moment when the viewer still trusts the image, yet begins to sense the gradual loss of orientation. Space is not presented as an environment, but experienced as a process — unstable, fragmented, and continuously reassembled through attention.
