TENSION
"Tension" is a series where different drawing techniques come together, from the classic use of graphite to thread lines that emerge from the paper, playing with the grey pencil strokes. This interplay directs the viewer's attention to the image's dynamics.
Moving beyond two dimensions, the paper becomes a space where two worlds meet. Here, the concept of line offers a deliberate proposition, complementing the idea depicted on the paper, providing the viewer with a visual concept.
For me, drawing has always been a rule-free game, a way of life, and the primary means of communicating with the world around me. It's a language that grows daily to compensate for my lack of words. I turn lines into images that break through language barriers.
