“Leap Carpet Series” 2017

Carpets conceived as moments of rupture, where surface becomes event.








Leap Series explores the carpet as a field of action rather than a decorative plane. Each piece originates from a single, decisive gesture — a pour, a spread, a controlled accident — frozen at the moment of impact. Color behaves like a trace of movement, expanding and colliding across the surface, while the irregular perimeter records the limits of control.

These carpets operate between painting and object, where memory is not represented but embedded in matter. The surface becomes a site of tension: between fluidity and arrest, intention and gravity, image and residue. Walking on them means crossing a suspended action, a leap that has already happened but has not fully settled.

Rather than offering a stable pattern, Leap Series preserves instability as a compositional value. The carpet is not a background; it is an event that remains active in space.
