Waterplane is an ongoing series of paintings that approaches water as both subject and method.  

A field of observation, a meditative surface, and a dynamic system in constant transformation. The works emerge from a long-term engagement with rivers, water bodies, and their surrounding ecosystems. Rather than depicting water in a representational sense, the series investigates its behaviors: flow, turbulence, reflection, sedimentation, and the subtle thresholds between structure and dissolution.

These paintings translate the ephemeral qualities of water into layered painterly processes, where gesture, viscosity, and gravity become collaborators.Each composition can be understood as a waterplane, a perceptual slice through a moving system.

The surface of the canvas becomes analogous to the surface of water itself: a site where depth and reflection collapse into a single plane, where light, motion, and matter continuously negotiate visibility.

The act of painting is central to this inquiry. Fluid paint is guided, poured, and redirected, allowing the material to perform rather than simply represent. This approach positions the work within a dialogue between control and emergence, echoing natural hydrological processes.
