Presence

This piece arrived through reworking — a surface returned to and gradually released from its earlier form. What remains is not the image, but the trace of it.

There is a sense here of something held just beyond reach. Like looking into fog, where colour and form are present, but not fully revealed.

Presence sits well with Memory Corridor and Held Within as seen in photos 4 & 5 

Series - Surface Memory 

Memory Corridor moves through layered recall — a passage shaped by accumulation.
Held Within gathers and contains — holding what has settled beneath the surface.
Presence meets a threshold — where something is sensed, but not fully seen, like colour held behind a veil.
Together, they reflect on how memory is not fixed, but continuously reformed — carried forward, re-encountered, and felt again in the present.
