Snow White was never about innocence.
It was about survival, silence, and being looked at.
Snowwhite focuses on a moment of transition, where stillness shifts into breath.

The image unfolds through layered structures that both reveal and obscure. Fragmentation and areas left unresolved allow multiple temporalities to exist simultaneously, creating a sense of tension between what is present and what is emerging.

Colour and gesture move across the surface like currents, carrying a subtle dynamic between suspension and activation. The figure appears neither fully fixed nor fully released, but held within a fragile threshold.

The work explores the space where change becomes perceptible, where an image is not yet complete, but already in motion.

Snowwhite is a moment caught between release and return. The instant before breath fully reclaims the body, and the echo of stillness that still lingers. Time doesn’t move forward here, it layers. A fragile in between where transformation is already happening, but not yet complete. Everything hovers, shifts, and refuses to settle into one fixed meaning.
