Undercurrent explores the quiet forces that move beneath the surface. Root-like forms emerge through torn layers of paper, revealing only fragments of a larger hidden structure. Fine wire extensions suggest connections that are fragile yet persistent. The work reflects on the unseen currents that shape memory, experience and change, leaving subtle traces of their passage.
