“This work reflects on how something as vast as a mountain range can be reduced to a single line. I went to Mont Blanc and saw the mountains myself, and what stayed with me was how their outline could be remembered as a simple thread. On the canvas, the silhouette stretches across like something fragile yet carrying the weight of a place. The painted frame turns this minimal mark into a landscape, inviting the viewer to see presence in what might first feel like absence. I think about how memory works in the same way how a single shape or fragment can bring back the sense of a whole. The line suggests distance, scale, and time, but it also feels personal, carried quietly in the smallest forms. What is left is not a view of Mont Blanc itself, but the trace of it, a horizon that exists between seeing and remembering.”
