About the theme of "extinct language"
Extinct languages resound in vibrant graphic compositions on black paper, animated by the embrace of warm-colored tapes.
Each geometric element in this series is a vessel, encoding the essence of forgotten words.
With every shape and colored line, a symbol emerges
—a tribute to the rhythmic cadence of vanished expressions.
The black surface symbolizes the void left by linguistic silence, while the tape weaves a narrative in hues of warmth.
Rectangles stand as remnants of syllables; circles echo with the resonance of phonetics.
Each shape and colored line becomes a symbol, a nod to the phonetic dance of vanished expressions.
The graphic dance of geometry and colored lines becomes a symbolic lexicon, breathing vitality into the memory of languages lost, etching
their stories onto the canvas of time.
